The most comprehensive plugin for controlling access to the WordPress REST API!
Works as a “set it and forget it” install. Just upload and activate, and the entire REST API will be inaccessible to your general site visitors.
But if you do need to grant access to some endpoints, you can do that too. Go to the Settings page and you can quickly whitelist individual endpoints (or entire branches of endpoints) in the REST API.
You can even do this on a per-user-role basis, so your unauthenticated users have one set of rules while WooCommerce customers have another while Subscribers and Editors and Admins all have their own. NOTE: Out of the box, all defined user roles will still be granted full access to the REST API until you choose to manage those settings.
For most versions of WordPress, this plugin will return an authentication error if a user is not allowed to access an endpoint. For legacy support, WordPress 4.4, 4.5, and 4.6 use the provided <code>rest_enabled</code> filter to disable the entire REST API.

Disable REST API

The plugin uses a is_user_logged_in() check to grant access to disabled REST API endpoints. I run a membership site for one year and just realized it now, that any logged in visitor STILL HAVE ACCESS to any disabled REST API endpoints.

This should be very explicit, and there should be a setting in the plugin settings page to set the minimum role for the user to have access to the disabled endpoints.

ANY logged-in visitor can view the disabled endpoints


Blocking the REST API entirely breaks plugins that require this functionality, so being able to selectively enable routes is perfect.



I recommend this plugin to everyone who uses Independent Analytics to secure their site while still enabling analytics to be recorded.


Excellent solution


The plugin does what it says on the tin, without being pretentious. Absolutely fantastic!


Fantastic

Disable the use of the REST API on your website to site users. Now with User Role support!

This plugin uses the OAuth 1.0a protocol to allow delegated authorization; that is, to allow applications to access a site using a set of secondary credentials. This allows server administrators to control which applications can access the site, as well as allowing users to control which applications have access to their data.
This plugin only supports WordPress >= 4.4.
The latest stable version is also available from the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/rest-api-oauth1/" rel="ugc">WordPress Plugin Directory</a>.
<h3>New to OAuth</h3>
We strongly recommend you use an existing OAuth library. You’ll be best off if you understand the authorization process, but leave the actual implementation to well-tested libraries, as there are a lot of edge cases.
Start reading from <a href="docs/introduction/README.md" rel="nofollow ugc">the Introduction</a> to get started!
<h3>For OAuth Veterans</h3>
If you already know how to use OAuth, here’s the lowdown:
<ul>
<li>The plugin uses OAuth 1.0a in</li>
<li>We use the three-legged flow</li>
<li>To find the REST API index, apply the <a href="http://v2.wp-api.org/guide/discovery/" rel="nofollow ugc">API autodiscovery process</a></li>
<li>The endpoints for the OAuth process are available in the REST API index: check for <code>$.authentication.oauth1</code> in the index data.
<ul>
<li>The temporary credentials (request token) endpoint is <code>$.authentication.oauth1.request</code> (typically <code>/oauth1/request</code>)</li>
<li>The authorization endpoint is <code>$.authentication.oauth1.authorize</code> (typically <code>/oauth1/authorize</code>)</li>
<li>The token exchange (access token) endpoint is <code>$.authentication.oauth1.access</code> (typically <code>/oauth1/access</code>)</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Your callback URL must match the registered callback URL for the application in the scheme, authority (user/password) host, port, and path sections. (Subpaths are not allowed.)</li>
<li>The only signature method supported is HMAC-SHA1.</li>
<li>OAuth parameters are supported in the Authorization header, query (GET) parameters, or request body (POST) parameters (if encoded as <code>application/x-www-form-urlencoded</code>). OAuth parameters are not supported in JSON data.</li>
</ul>

WP REST API – OAuth 1.0a Server

Hello, I have made an adapter for Parse Server under Node.js with which you can link the login of any installation of wordpress in Parse Server, for that I have used your plugin, which is the one that gives us access_token and allows us to verify the authenticity Of the user registered in the server.

Got this working after some good amount of work! Thanks for bringing this and making API calls secure.

Worked like a charm!

Really Useful And Good Plugin
But Please
1- Reply on The Support Forum
2- Update it To Work Good With Last WordPress Verison
3 – No Clear Docs
4 - not work with localhost

Good But

Connect applications to your WordPress site without ever giving away your password.
