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.

Overview

About this plugin

NovaCraft API Builder for WordPress turns your WooCommerce store into a fully-featured headless commerce backend. It exposes a clean, versioned REST API under /wp-json/novacraft/v1/ with:

  • JWT Authentication — Issue access tokens (15 min TTL) and refresh tokens (30 days), with automatic rotation and revocation.
  • API Key Management — Create nc_live_* and nc_test_* keys with granular permissions, IP allowlists, rate-limit overrides, and expiry dates.
  • Product Endpoints — List, filter, sort, paginate, and retrieve products, variations, and reviews.
  • Category Endpoints — Browse the WooCommerce category tree.
  • Order Endpoints — Authenticated customers can view their order history and add order notes.
  • Customer Endpoints — Manage profile, addresses, and order history.
  • Cart Endpoints — Full headless cart: add/update/remove items, apply coupons, calculate shipping, and check out.
  • Caching — Object-cache and transient fallback, ETag headers, tag-based invalidation.
  • Rate Limiting — Sliding-window limiter with Redis or transient fallback. Account lockout after 5 failed logins.
  • React Admin UI — Dashboard, API Key manager, API Explorer, request logs, and settings page.
  • Extensibility — 6 filters and 6 actions so Pro / Enterprise add-ons can hook in without touching Core.
