Rest Routes – Custom Endpoints for WordPress REST API

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 · 100% run the current release. 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.

   we all know, it is not “if it will have error”, is “when it will have error” hence the biggest consideration for us is always about the support. i must say the dev team from rest routes has done a great job in responding in my issues. thank you. highly recommended.

   Do yourself a favour get the pro… its worth a lot more than the value its up for… This plugin is a game changer… 1. the plugin itself.. very well coded, no slow down… what so ever.. once you get the hang of it very east to use.. thats coming from a total novice.. if you already know what you are doing… well… ill say no more.. 2. The support… is the best ive ever had… replying in a very timely manner…. and couldn’t be any more helpful if he tried. would give it 10 stars if I could.

   Best plugin for custom endpoints! My requirements were to have the plugin work with afc-plugin, custom fields and array-parameters. At first there were some issues but the support is great, help was provided fast and competent and helped to solve all my issues! So thumbs up!

   Useful plugin with a developer looking to extend the feature set. Fast responce to queries and suggestions. Pro version is well worth the minimal cost.

   I’m very pleased with how this plugin extends on the basic API. Also the developer is open to feature requests which is big plus. Keep it up.
