Restico API Explorer

Restico API Explorer is a developer utility designed to catalog, document, and test your WordPress REST API endpoints. Instead of switching between WordPress and external API clients like Postman or Insomnia, you can explore all registered routes directly within the WordPress dashboard.

Features

• Interactive Catalog: Automatically lists all registered endpoints grouped by namespace.
• Request Composer: Send GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE requests directly to your routes.
• Auto-filled Parameters: Inspect and automatically structure query and body parameters.
• cURL Generation: Instantly compile your configured request into a ready-to-run cURL command.
• Postman Export: Export requests into standard Postman Collections (v2.1) for easy sharing and collaboration.
• Response Analyzer: Visualize formatted JSON bodies, response headers, status codes, and execution metrics.

Who can access the REST API Explorer?

Only users with the manage_options capability (typically Administrators) can access the explorer dashboard or make requests through the AJAX helpers.

Does it make external requests?

No, all requests are executed locally within the WordPress system via rest_do_request(), ensuring zero data leakage and maintaining absolute privacy.
