Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site. Why active installs don’t tell the whole story →
WP PlugIndex currently records REST API Explorer version 1.1.0 as active, updated 17d ago and tested up to WordPress 7.1.
Overview
About this plugin
This plugin provides an easy way to explore the currently registered REST API routes and endpoints along with parameter information for each endpoint. The plugin adds a Tools > REST API Explorer menu item which provides an interactive API exploration interface, listing REST endpoints from WordPress core as well as endpoints registered by plugins. You can provide values for endpoint parameters (where applicable) and run the endpoints in your browser.
How do I access the plugin interface?
The plugin interface can be accessed in the WordPress admin under Tools > REST API Explorer.
