API Improver for WooCommerce

Improve your WooCommerce API REST without config.

WooCommerce is a awesome plugin used by 5+ million WordPress websites to create e-commerce.

It’s awesome and we love it but sometimes we need more from API REST.

Endpoints

We support V3.

/products

• Will search for a category/tag by “name” and “slug” (in this order) if “id” is not provided (or empty).
• Will search for attribute ID if it’s not provided (or empty). Check wc_attribute_taxonomy_id_by_name for more details.

In both cases, we will not create a new product attribute, category or tag. You can use the “aifw_api_v1_products_search_for_terms” filter to create it and return the “term_id”.
WooCommerce will keep the attribute for product only if a taxonomy was not found.

How to Use

Easy and quick!

Just activate “API Improver for WooCommerce” and it’s done. No configurations.

I want to add my customization to endpoints

For products, you can use the filter “aifw_api_v3_products_request_for_prepare_object_for_database” to change the request.

Is there a way to create categories or attributes?

We will not create new terms but you can use the “aifw_api_v3_products_term_not_found”. Example.
