=== RESTless === Contributors: bjornw Tags: REST-API, REST, security Requires at least: 4.4 Tested up to: 4.9.6 Stable tag: trunk License: GPLv2 or later License URI: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html RESTless disables REST calls for non-authenticated requests. == Description == RESTless is a tiny WordPress plugin which disables access to the REST API (available in WordPress since version 4.4) for non-authenticated users. This prevents usage of the REST API by the general public and limits access to those with login credentials. No REST for the wicked. It also supports WordPress Multisite installations. == Installation == Install this plugin as you'd install any other WordPress plugin e.g. 1. Upload `restless` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress == Frequently Asked Questions == = Does this disable the REST API? = No, it only prevents non-authenticated usage of the REST API. = Does it work with WordPress Multisite? = Yes, it does. You may disable REST API access per site or per Network. Per site: Activate the plugin only per site on which you'd like to disable non-authenticated REST API access. Per network: Use network-activated for the plugin and it will automagically disable non-authenticated REST API access. == Screenshots == 1. Message (in this case automagically translated in Dutch) shown to non-authenticated user of the REST AP upon this request https://domain.name/wp-json/wp/v2/users 2. Request shown to authenticated user of the REST API (example request was https://domain.name/wp-json/wp/v2/users) == Notes == Credits: Sword icon used in the WordPress plugin repository and found as /assets/icon* From the series ['Sketchy'](http://www.toicon.com/series/sketchy) By [Shannon E Thomas](http://www.toicon.com/authors/1) Thanks Shannon E Thomas and to[icon] for sharing your work!
