REST API

The MainWP API uses REST conventions and returns all data in JSON format. Requests may be made using the HTTPS protocol and must be authenticated using a Consumer Key and Consumer Secret.

The API supports 3 primary resources, each with a related set of endpoints:

Response bodies from the MainWP API are in JSON format, with a Content-Type: of application/json and UTF-8 character encoding.

MainWP allows you to create your own extension and plug it into our main plugin. To do this we have added some actions and filters to our main plugin.

Here is an example of how to implement your own plugin, afterward the actions and filters used are explained:

$childKey = false;

add_filter('mainwp-getextensions', 'get_this_extension');
$mainWPActivated = apply_filters('mainwp-activated-check', false);

if ($mainWPActivated !== false) {
activate_this_plugin();
} else {
add_action('mainwp-activated', 'activate_this_plugin');
}

function get_this_extension($extensions) {
$extensions[] = array('plugin' => __FILE__, 'callback' => 'my_plugin_extension_settings');
return $extensions;
}

function my_plugin_extension_settings() {
do_action('mainwp-pageheader-extensions', __FILE__);
echo 'Your custom settings page';
do_action('mainwp-pagefooter-extensions', __FILE__);
}

function activate_this_plugin() {
global $childEnabled;
$childEnabled = apply_filters('mainwp-extension-enabled-check', __FILE__);
if (!$childEnabled) return;

$childKey = $childEnabled['key'];

//Code to initialize your plugin
}
