ByTim Nolte July 13, 2019July 13, 2019

Talking to Other Sites with the WP HTTP API from topher1kenobe

Why Talk To Other Sites?

Ask them questions – Getting Data
Tell them things – Process Requests.

How is This Done?

GET – wp_remote_get()
POST – wp_remote_post()
HEAD – wp_remote_head()

Cache API Content

WordPress Sites (/wp-json) – pull public WordPress site data
