Disable REST API

Door Dave McHale

Omschrijving

The most comprehensive plugin for controlling access to the WordPress REST API!

Works as a “set it and forget it” install. Just upload and activate, and the entire REST API will be inaccessible to
your site visitors. Or if you have a plugin or theme installed which needs some of its endpoints to be accessible to
site visitors, you can do that too. Go to the Settings page and you can quickly whitelist individual endpoints – or
entire branches of endpoints – registered with the REST API.

The engine for the API has existed in WordPress since v4.4 and additional functionality and endpoints are a
continual project. While this is very exciting news for many reasons, it is also not functionality that every site
admin wants enabled on their website if not necessary.

As of WordPress 4.7, the filters provided for disabling the REST API were removed. To compensate, this plugin will
forcibly return an authentication error to any API requests from sources who are not logged into your website, which
will effectively still prevent unauthorized requests from using the REST API to get information from your website.

For WordPress versions 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6, this plugin makes use of the rest_enabled filter provided by the API to
disable the API functionality. However, it is strongly recommended that all site owners run the most recent version
of WordPress except where absolutely necessary.

Schermafdrukken

  • The JSON returned by a website with the API disabled via filters (WP versions 4.4, 4.5, 4.6)
  • The JSON returned by a website with the API disabled via authentication methods (WP versions 4.7+)
  • The Settings page lets you selectively whitelist endpoints registered with the REST API.

Installatie

  1. Upload the disable-json-api directory to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory via FTP
  2. Alternatively, upload the disable-json-api_v#.#.zip file to the ‘Plugins->Add New’ page in your WordPress admin
    area
  3. Activeer de plug-in via het ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

FAQ

How do I know if this plugin is working?

While logged into WordPress as any user, the REST API will function as intended. Because of this, you must use a new
browser – or Chrome’s incognito mode – to test your website with a clean session. Go to yourdomain.com/wp-json/ (or
yourdomain.com/?rest_route=/ if you have pretty permalinks disabled) while NOT LOGGED IN to test the results. You will
see an authentication error returned if the plugin is active. “DRA: Only authenticated users can access the REST API.”

Does this plugin disable all REST API’s installed?

This plugin is ONLY meant to disable endpoints accessible via the default REST API that is part of WordPress itself. If
a plugin or theme chooses to register its namespace with the core REST API, its endpoints will – by default – by
disabled so long as this plugin is active. Namespaces and routes may be whitelisted via this plugin’s Settings page.

Beoordelingen

ANY logged-in visitor can view the disabled endpoints

20 april 2020
The plugin uses a is_user_logged_in() check to grant access to disabled REST API endpoints. I run a membership site for one year and just realized it now, that any logged in visitor STILL HAVE ACCESS to any disabled REST API endpoints. This should be very explicit, and there should be a setting in the plugin settings page to set the minimum role for the user to have access to the disabled endpoints.

super!

A necessary plugin if you have a site for logged-in users. Thanks for this plug-in!

Perfect

Does exactly what I want it to do. It disables the REST API completely for non-authenticated users.
