![]() ![]() Benefit: Ease of Revoking CredentialsĪpplication Passwords makes it easy to revoke any individual application password, or wholesale void all of a user’s application passwords. HTTP is the underlying protocol used by the World Wide Web and this protocol defines how messages are formatted and transmitted, and what actions Web servers and browsers should take in response to various commands. It uses the standard HTTP HTTP HTTP is an acronym for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol. Given a login and an application password, making an API request is as simple asĬurl -user "USERNAME:APPLICATION_PASSWORD" -X POST -d "title=New Title" However, Application Passwords is more comprehensive, and a far superior of a choice for the reasons that follow. Broad conceptual overview of varying methods (See: WP-API/authentication#15)Ī simpler alternative to Application Passwords is pure Basic Authentication and detailed in #42790. ![]() Some called for a centralized app repository, some had open registration, but all were complex and none of them could build sufficient traction to come to fruition. There have been many systems considered, including everything from multiple incarnations of OAuth, JWT, and even some solutions that are combinations of the two. We’d like to propose integrating Application Passwords into Core. Spoofing an interactive session just to make API requests is bad form and needlessly complex. ![]() All of which is a tremendously messy and awkward usage that completely falls apart if someone uses a variant of a two-factor authentication system. After some time having to store username/password to spoof a cookie and interactive session to scrape a nonce from the wp-admin DOM, and then to use an endpoint to get it instead via. This has resulted in frustration for our Mobile teams especially as they’re working to integrate Gutenberg support, which relies on the REST API. has been through Cookie & Nonce-based authentication-there is no good way for third-party applications to communicate with WordPress in an authenticated fashion, apart from the legacy XML-RPC API. The Core Development Team builds WordPress. in core Core Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. However, the functionality has been limited in that the only way to make authenticated requests to the API API An API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways. The idea combines concepts of what in the past may have achieved with shortcodes, custom HTML, and embed discovery into a single consistent API and user experience. block Block Block is the abstract term used to describe units of markup that, composed together, form the content or layout of a webpage using the WordPress editor. It uses ‘blocks’ to add richness rather than shortcodes, custom HTML etc. The editor improves the process and experience of creating new content, making writing rich content much simpler. Įver since the REST API infrastructure merged via #33982 and shipped in WordPress 4.4 in December 2015, it’s been gaining momentum and been used in more and more places-throughout WordPress’s admin admin (and super admin), via plugins and themes, and enabled deep, robust interactions powering new functionality such as the Gutenberg Gutenberg The Gutenberg project is the new Editor Interface for WordPress. It is how the front end of an application (think “phone app” or “website”) can communicate with the data store (think “database” or “file system”). Problem statement: no way to authenticate third-party access to REST API REST API The REST API is an acronym for the RESTful Application Program Interface (API) that uses HTTP requests to GET, PUT, POST and DELETE data. ![]()
