HuxxConnect is a modern WordPress plugin for connecting your site to external REST APIs — no coding required. Set up your APIs, configure endpoints, and display the returned data anywhere on your site using shortcodes or PHP template functions.
Built with security and portability in mind, HuxxConnect encrypts all stored API credentials with AES-256-GCM, provides a clean Alpine.js-powered admin interface, and offers 25+ hooks for developers who need to extend or customize behavior.
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Unlimited APIs and endpoints — connect to as many external APIs as you need</li>
<li>All major HTTP methods — GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE</li>
<li>Flexible authentication — Bearer Token, API Key (header or query), Basic Auth, custom hook-based auth. WordPress constants and environment variables can be used for any credential value.</li>
<li>Secure credential storage — AES-256-GCM encryption with portable key management and environment lock protection</li>
<li>Shortcodes and template functions — display API data anywhere with <code>[huxx_api]</code> or <code>huxx_api()</code> in your theme</li>
<li>Built-in endpoint testing — test API calls directly from the admin panel with live request/response preview</li>
<li>Smart caching — automatic cache detection (object cache or transients) with per-endpoint TTL</li>
<li>Request logging — built-in log viewer with filterable request history</li>
<li>Import and export — migrate from WPGetAPI, share configs between sites, or import from Postman collections (v2.1) with <a href="https://huxx.dev/plugins/connect" rel="nofollow ugc">HuxxConnect Pro</a></li>
<li>WPGetAPI compatibility — optional compatibility layer maps WPGetAPI hooks, functions, and shortcodes for seamless migration</li>
<li>Dynamic path variables — use <code>{post_id}</code>, <code>{0}</code>, <code>{1}</code> in endpoint paths with runtime substitution</li>
<li>Multipart/form-data support — upload files to APIs with WordPress Media Library integration</li>
<li>Query, header, and body parameters — configure static parameters in the admin or pass dynamic values at runtime</li>
<li>Per-API controls — enable/disable individual APIs, configure SSL verification, set custom timeouts</li>
<li>WCAG AA accessible admin UI — keyboard navigation, ARIA attributes, focus management, reduced motion support</li>
<li>Mobile-responsive admin — fully usable on tablets and phones</li>
<li>Developer-friendly — 25+ filters and actions, PSR-4 autoloading, clean architecture</li>
</ul>
<h4>Shortcode Usage</h4>
<pre><code>[huxx_api api_id="my_api" endpoint_id="get_users"]

[huxx_api api_id="weather" endpoint_id="forecast" query_variables="city=London"]
</code></pre>
<h4>Template Function Usage</h4>
<pre><code><?php $data = huxx_api( 'my_api', 'get_users' ); ?>

<li>Remote Unlock — securely migrate encrypted credentials between environments (staging, production) without re-entering API keys</li>
<li>Pagination — cursor-based, page number, and offset pagination for endpoints that return paginated results</li>
<li>Results filtering — filter API response data with rules before syncing to WordPress</li>
<li>HTML formatter — display API data as styled HTML tables with number formatting support</li>
<li>Postman Import — import collections from Postman (v2.1 format) with automatic mapping of authentication, headers, query parameters, and body configuration</li>
<li>OAuth 2.0 authentication — connect to APIs that require OAuth 2.0 authorization flows (coming soon)</li>
<li>Page builder integrations — dedicated widgets and modules for Elementor, Beaver Builder, and more (coming soon)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Third-Party Service Usage</h4>
HuxxConnect does not phone home, collect telemetry, or send any data to Huxx & Co or any third party.
When you configure an API connection in HuxxConnect, the plugin makes HTTP requests to the external API endpoints that you specify. All API URLs, credentials, headers, and request parameters are configured entirely by you. These requests are made using the WordPress HTTP API (<code>wp_safe_remote_request()</code>), which provides built-in SSRF protection.
Google Favicon Service: When you add or import an API, HuxxConnect attempts to fetch a favicon for the API’s base URL. As part of this process, the plugin may make a server-side request to Google’s S2 favicon service (<code>https://www.google.com/s2/favicons</code>) to retrieve a high-resolution icon. The only data sent is the API’s root domain name (e.g., <code>api.example.com</code>). No user data, credentials, or site information is transmitted. This service is subject to <a href="https://policies.google.com/terms" rel="nofollow ugc">Google’s Terms of Service</a> and <a href="https://policies.google.com/privacy" rel="nofollow ugc">Privacy Policy</a>.
You are responsible for reviewing the terms of service and privacy policies of any external APIs you connect to through this plugin.
