WP REST API Key Authentication adds a simple API key-based authentication method to the WordPress REST API. This plugin is perfect for developers who want to interact with the REST API securely without relying on complex OAuth authentication mechanisms. Key Features: Multiple API Keys: Create and manage multiple API keys with custom names. Secure API Key Storage: API keys are hashed and securely stored in the WordPress database. Single Display for Security: API keys are shown only once after creation. REST API Access Control: Authenticate requests by including an API key in the Authorization header. Admin Interface: Manage API keys with a user-friendly admin page. Copy to Clipboard Popup: Easily copy generated API keys with a built-in popup. The plugin is lightweight and integrates seamlessly with WordPress. Usage Generate an API Key: Go to API Keys in the WordPress admin menu. Enter a name for the API key and click “Generate API Key”. The API key will appear in a popup. Copy it immediately, as it will not be displayed again. Use the API Key: Include the API key in the Authorization header of your REST API requests: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY Delete API Keys: To revoke access, delete an API key from the API Keys admin page.
