Custom API for WP

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   I have the free version of miniOrange Custom API installed on my site since I only require a specific API, and it’s more than enough for my needs. After an update, the API I was using stopped working, so I contacted the support team. Even though I didn’t have the paid version, they listened to me and resolved the issue I reported in the next update, and everything went back to normal. I’m grateful to Sukhada for the support provided, and please don’t hesitate to install this wonderful plugin.

   We had the pleasure of working with MiniOrange to integrate our hotel booking website with our property management system using APIs and webhooks, and the experience was nothing short of outstanding! From the start, the team at MiniOrange took the time to understand our requirements thoroughly and delivered exactly what we needed. Despite our extremely tight deadlines, they remained highly responsive and ensured that we got the best results without compromising on quality. Our goal was to have a real-time booking engine that seamlessly syncs with our PMS, keeping room availability, pricing, and reservations updated across multiple platforms. They successfully developed a system that ensures prices update dynamically, availability remains accurate, and any reservations made on our website are instantly reflected in our PMS with all the necessary details. They also ensured that bookings are only confirmed once payment is verified with our payment gateway partner, aligning perfectly with our operational requirements. Despite facing limitations due to our WordPress theme, MiniOrange went above and beyond to overcome those challenges, delivering a smooth and efficient solution that exceeded our expectations. Their work on the backend is exceptionally clean, optimized, and reliable, ensuring long-term stability and ease of management. A special thanks to Vidushi Gupta, Rohit Sharma, Sharshdeep Saluja, and the entire MiniOrange team for their dedication, expertise, and professionalism. Their services are also cost-effective, making them a great choice for businesses in the hospitality industry. If you’re looking for a team that can handle complex integrations, deliver tailored solutions, and work under pressure while maintaining high standards, MiniOrange is the perfect partner. Highly recommended!

   We worked with Yash at miniOrange on what I would suggest was a very difficult API intgration with Woocommerce. He was amazing! Quick turnaround, awesome troubleshoooting and prompt communications. If you’re importing Woocommerce products from any sort of API, I would strongly reccommend Yash and the Team at miniOrange!

   Looking for a reliable solution for product sync from POS this plugin was close to what we needed and the Xecurify team was able to modify the plugin to exactly what we needed. Vidushi always responded in a timely manner and provided assistance beyond what we anticipated. I recommend Xecurify and will not hesitate to work with them again.
