REST Console Embed

WordPress shortcode plugin providing an embeddable console for exploring REST APIs in your content.

Based on Automattic's WordPress.com Console.

Using the shortcode

[rest-console api_root="http://path/to/api" auth="none" width="100%" height="500px"]

• api_root
  • Root URL of the target API.
• auth
  • "none", "oauth", or "proxy". Using values other than "none" is an exercise left to the reader. ;)
• width
  • Width of the containing div, defaults to 100%.
• height
  • Height of the containing div, defaults to 500px.

API Compatibility

For the console to work properly, the target API will need to:

• Respond to versioned requests, specified in the URL (e.g. /api/v1/endpoint)
• Expose a /versions endpoint to provide metadata about the API's different versions
  • See https://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1.1/versions
• Expose a /help endpoint to provide metadata about the API's endpoints
  • See https://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1.1/help (make sure to request with Accept: application/json header)
