<p><strong>Infospica Headless API</strong> is a WordPress REST API plugin that transforms your WordPress site into a secure, scalable headless CMS with fully isolated custom REST API endpoints.</p>
<p>Build modern frontend applications using Next.js, React, Vue, Angular, or mobile apps — powered by WordPress as a backend API, without touching the default WordPress REST API.</p>
<p><strong>Looking for a secure WordPress REST API plugin for headless CMS?</strong> Infospica Headless API gives you a custom namespace, full CRUD support, ACF field access, and authentication control — all from a clean WordPress admin UI.</p>
<h3>Why use Infospica Headless API?</h3>
<p>Most developers using WordPress as a headless CMS face the same problems: the default REST API exposes too much data publicly, offers no namespace control, and has weak write protection.</p>
<p>Infospica Headless API solves all of that with a dedicated, configurable API layer purpose-built for modern headless WordPress architectures.</p>
<p><strong>Key advantages:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Fully isolated API namespace — no interference with default WordPress REST API</li>
<li>Every endpoint requires authentication — no accidental public data exposure</li>
<li>Write operations are locked to WordPress capability checks</li>
<li>Works with any headless frontend: Next.js, Nuxt, React, Vue, Angular, or mobile</li>
</ul>
<h3>Key Features</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Custom WordPress REST API namespace</strong> with version control (<code>/wp-json/my-api/v1/</code>)</li>
<li><strong>Full CRUD endpoints</strong> — GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE</li>
<li><strong>Supports Pages, Posts, and Custom Post Types (CPT)</strong></li>
<li><strong>ACF field support</strong> — include Advanced Custom Fields in API responses</li>
<li><strong>Authentication-aware</strong> — all endpoints require authentication; write operations require capabilities</li>
<li><strong>CSRF protection</strong> — nonce validation enforced for cookie-based authentication</li>
<li><strong>Pagination</strong> — <code>?page</code> and <code>?per_page</code> on all list endpoints (max 50 per page)</li>
<li><strong>WooCommerce-safe</strong> — core WooCommerce pages automatically excluded</li>
<li><strong>Clean admin UI</strong> — manage namespace, version, and enabled content types</li>
<li><strong>Clean uninstall</strong> — removes all plugin options on uninstall</li>
</ul>
<h3>Use Cases</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Headless WordPress with Next.js</strong> — fetch posts, pages, and CPTs via secure REST API</li>
<li><strong>WordPress REST API for React or Vue</strong> — isolated namespace, no public data leakage</li>
<li><strong>Mobile app backend</strong> — use WordPress as a content API for iOS or Android apps</li>
<li><strong>SaaS platforms</strong> — use WordPress as a headless CMS for multi-tenant applications</li>
<li><strong>ACF API</strong> — expose Advanced Custom Fields data via authenticated REST endpoints</li>
<li><strong>CPT API</strong> — serve Custom Post Type data to any external frontend or service</li>
</ul>
<h3>Security</h3>
<ul>
<li>All endpoints require authentication — including read (GET) requests</li>
<li>Write operations require WordPress capability checks (<code>edit_posts</code>, <code>delete_posts</code>)</li>
<li>Nonce validation enforced for all cookie-based write requests (CSRF protection)</li>
<li>Email addresses and sensitive user data never included in API responses</li>
<li>WooCommerce core pages (Shop, Cart, Checkout, My Account) excluded automatically</li>
</ul>
<h3>Authentication</h3>
<p>All endpoints require authentication.</p>
<p><strong>Supported methods:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Application Passwords</strong> (recommended) — available since WordPress 5.6; generate under Users <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Profile and send as Basic Auth header</li>
<li><strong>WordPress login cookies</strong> — for browser or admin usage; write requests require <code>X-WP-Nonce</code> header or <code>_wpnonce</code> parameter</li>
<li>Any authentication method that correctly sets the WordPress user context</li>
</ul>
<p>Write operations are additionally restricted by WordPress user capabilities.</p>
<h3>Available Endpoints</h3>
