Biggest opportunity: Swap “api” for “endpoints”. “api” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “endpoints” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

At least 300 of 13.2K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Uncategorized plugin keeps 0.6%, across 17,770 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Uncategorized plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| endpoints | #10 | #16 | down 2 |
| endpoint your tag | #12 | #17 | down 2 |
| custom endpoints your tag | #23 | #21 | down 6 |
| api your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| custom your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| rest your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
3 searches this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.
What to do about it
- Swap “api” for “endpoints”. “api” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “endpoints” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- Slipping on “custom endpoints”. Down 6 places since 2026-10-07, now #23. Check what shipped around then, and what moved above you.
- One page off on “endpoint”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

Hi, I’ve been developing code and web apps for churches for several years. Been wanting to move to a REST API with access to my own developed PHP libraries. This does the trick perfectly. Straightforward setup, easy to implement. The built-in logs and activities are excellent tools in debug. Along with Postman, I am able to fully qualify paths and routes created by WCRA. I hope to see you continue development and support for this as WordPress’s future will, in my opinion, grow a large following of REST API users. I come from a system /embedded programming background and have used tools like Lumen and Angular for this kind of access. But this is just too easy to use, I use this currently with Gravity Forms and their Webhooks REST API Excellent work, Kudos to you ( will definitely be interested in supporting your project)
