Content Bridge for Commerce provides a lightweight REST API endpoint that allows external commerce platforms such as Shopify to fetch WordPress editorial content.
This plugin does not sync databases or duplicate content. It simply exposes your WordPress posts through a clean, structured JSON API designed for external consumption.
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Fetch latest WordPress posts via REST API</li>
<li>Filter posts by category or tag (using slug)</li>
<li>Return featured image, excerpt, and publish date</li>
<li>Optional conversion of Jetpack (i0.wp.com) CDN image URLs back to original URLs</li>
<li>Configurable default post count and limits</li>
<li>Built-in transient cache (5 minutes) to reduce database load</li>
<li>No data duplication or migration required</li>
</ul>
<h3>REST API Endpoint</h3>
Base endpoint:
<pre><code>/wp-json/content-bridge/v1/posts
</code></pre>
Examples:
Latest posts: 
 /wp-json/content-bridge/v1/posts?per_page=4
Posts filtered by tag: 
 /wp-json/content-bridge/v1/posts?tax=post_tag&term=guidi&per_page=4
Posts filtered by category: 
 /wp-json/content-bridge/v1/posts?tax=category&term=news&per_page=4
If no taxonomy is specified, the API returns the latest posts from all published posts.
<h4>Authentication</h4>
This plugin protects its REST API using a simple API key mechanism.
Requests must include a valid API key via the following HTTP header:
X-Content-Bridge-Key: YOUR_API_KEY
If the API key is missing or invalid, the endpoint will return a 401 Unauthorized response.
The API key can be configured in the plugin settings screen.
The API key can be manually set or generated from the plugin settings screen.
<h3>Settings</h3>
Settings → Content Bridge for Commerce
<ul>
<li>Default number of posts</li>
<li>Maximum allowed posts per request</li>
<li>Image size (thumbnail / medium / large / full)</li>
<li>Excerpt length (word count)</li>
<li>Enable or disable Jetpack CDN URL unwrapping</li>
</ul>
<h3>Privacy</h3>
Content Bridge for Commerce does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data.
The plugin only exposes publicly available WordPress post data (such as title, excerpt, featured image, and permalink) via a REST API endpoint.
No data is sent to external servers by this plugin.

Developing a single page React app but still want to use the WordPress theme based fronted.
Not a problem, maybe you just use these modules:
<ul>
<li>Adds Gutenberg block data to REST responses</li>
<li>Protects REST requests with nonce</li>
<li>Cleans up REST response objects</li>
<li>Removes non required REST endpoints</li>
</ul>
Developing a truly headless WordPress single page app or mobile app and just want WordPress for the backend?
Maybe use these modules:
<ul>
<li>JSON Web Token Authentication</li>
<li>Adds Gutenberg block data to REST responses</li>
<li>Protects REST requests with nonce</li>
<li>Cleans up REST response objects</li>
<li>Removes non required REST endpoints</li>
<li>Disable the WordPress frontend</li>
</ul>
You get the idea.
The plugin documentation is held inside the plugin ‘options’ page in the WordPress admin, although there are some docs for the custom rest endpoints:

Anyway if you are looking to use WordPress as a headless CMS on a React, React Native, Angular, iOS/Android native project. This plugin should go a long way to setting WordPress up as you need it.
