[WooCommerce](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/) is a awesome plugin used by 5+ million WordPress websites to create e-commerce. It’s awesome and we love it but sometimes we need more from API REST. ### Endpoints We support V3. #### /products * Will search for a category/tag by “name” and “slug” (in this order) if “id” is not provided (or empty). * Will search for attribute ID if it’s not provided (or empty). Check [wc_attribute_taxonomy_id_by_name](https://woocommerce.github.io/code-reference/files/woocommerce-includes-wc-attribute-functions.html#function_wc_attribute_taxonomy_id_by_name) for more details. In both cases, **we will not** create a new product attribute, category or tag. You can use the “aifw_api_v1_products_search_for_terms” filter to create it and return the “term_id”. WooCommerce will keep the attribute for product only if a taxonomy was not found. #### How to Use Easy and quick! Just activate “API Improver for WooCommerce” and it’s done. No configurations. #### Translations You can [translate API Improver for WooCommerce](https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/api-improver-for-woocommerce) to your language. #### Review We would be grateful for a [review here](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/api-improver-for-woocommerce/reviews/). #### Support * WooCommerce – 4.8 (API Version 3 supports 3.5.x or later, but we did not test it) ## Screenshots * [[ * Request to create a Product with a category without ID. * [[ * Example to update a Product with both categories with and without ID. ## Installation First * Install [WooCommerce](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce/) and activate it. Next * Install “API Improver for WooCommerce” by plugins dashboard. Or * Upload the entire `api-improver-for-woocommerce` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory. Then * Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. ## FAQ ### Does it works for another e-commerce plugin? Nope. The intention here is to improve WooCommerce API REST. ### I want to add my customization to endpoints For products, you can use the filter “aifw_api_v3_products_request_for_prepare_object_for_database” to change the request. ### Is there a way to create categories or attributes? We will not create new terms but you can use the “aifw_api_v3_products_term_not_found”. [Example](https://gist.github.com/mariovalney/78090bd7eaa064d6b27e44804fd34008). ### Can I help you? Yes!
