  Hi everyone,

  I would like to create a connection between my app and WordPress, similar to what Integromat / Zapier does.

  I want to create a connection and retrieve all the fields for let’s say a blog. How can I do that with the WordPress API?

  Thank you

  Hi there,

  There are 2 ways that I know about to fetch data from WordPress, the REST API and the GraphQL API. The REST API comes native in WordPress, and GraphQL would need to be accessed using a plugin.

  You can learn about the REST API here:
  https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/api/

  You can learn about WP GraphQL here: https://www.wpgraphql.com

  Differences between GraphQL and Rest API: https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/api/

  Additionally, if you were looking for something a little bit easier, there are automation plugins similar to Zapier that can retrieve and send data using webhooks, like this one for example.

  I hope some of these references have the information you are looking for!

  I hope these links were able to point you in the right direction.
