REST API Route Tester is a powerful tool for WordPress developers and administrators to test and debug REST API endpoints directly from the wp-admin. It provides a user-friendly interface to:
- View all registered REST API routes, grouped by plugin
- Test routes with HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
- Switch between different user roles to test permissions
- Send custom headers and body data (JSON)
- View detailed responses including status codes and response time
- Create multiple request tabs and persist state between sessions
- Auto-suggest routes with a searchable dropdown; auto-select primary method
- Generate example payloads based on route schema (via OPTIONS discovery)
