<p>Infospica Headless API transforms WordPress into a secure and flexible headless CMS by providing a custom REST API namespace with full CRUD capabilities.</p>
<p>Instead of modifying the default WordPress REST API, this plugin creates an isolated and configurable API layer designed specifically for secure and scalable headless architectures.</p>
<h3>Ideal for</h3>
<ul>
<li>Headless WordPress (Next.js, Nuxt, React, Vue, Angular)</li>
<li>Mobile applications</li>
<li>SaaS platforms</li>
<li>Custom frontend integrations</li>
<li>API-driven architectures</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Features</h3>

</li>
<li>Application Passwords (recommended for external applications)</li>
<li>Any authentication method that properly sets the current user context</li>
