About WooCommerce Legacy REST API
This plugin restores the functionality of the Legacy REST API that was removed in WooCommerce 9.0 and later versions. It works the same way as enabling the Legacy REST API in older versions of WooCommerce. However, it is not compatible with High-Performance Order Storage, so it is recommended to upgrade the code to use the current WooCommerce REST API.Frequently asked questions
What is the purpose of the WooCommerce Legacy REST API plugin?
This plugin restores the full functionality of the removed Legacy REST API code in WooCommerce 9.0 and later versions. It allows users to continue using the Legacy REST API even after it has been removed from the core WooCommerce plugin.
How does this plugin work with WooCommerce 9.0 and newer versions?
Installing and activating this plugin in WooCommerce 9.0 and newer versions is equivalent to enabling the Legacy REST API in WooCommerce 8.9 and older versions. All endpoints and existing user keys will continue to function as before.
Is this plugin compatible with older versions of WooCommerce?
Yes, installing this plugin with WooCommerce 8.9 or older versions is safe. The plugin detects that the Legacy REST API is still part of WooCommerce and does not initialize itself to avoid interference.
What is a known limitation of the Legacy REST API?
The Legacy REST API is not compatible with High-Performance Order Storage. It is highly recommended to upgrade code that relies on the Legacy REST API to use the current WooCommerce REST API instead.
