Send the REST nonce header: X-WP-Nonce You can also use Application Passwords. Each endpoint checks plugin capabilities( view, import, delete, or manage_options). #### GET /files List all files and folders in the staging directory. Example: GET /wp-json/mediupma/v1/files Returns a tree array with file name, relative path, size, mime type, and URL. Permission: User can view staging files. #### POST /import Import one or more staging files into the Media Library. Example: POST /wp-json/mediupma/v1/import Body: JSON object with a relatives array of file paths, e.g. invoices/2026/photo. jpg Returns success, failed, and skipped arrays. Permission: User can import files. #### DELETE /files/{path} Delete a file or empty folder from the staging directory. Example: DELETE /wp-json/mediupma/v1/files/invoices/2026/photo.jpg Returns a success message on delete. Permission: User can delete staging files. #### GET /activity Retrieve the latest activity log entries (upload, import, delete). Example: GET /wp-json/mediupma/v1/activity Returns an entries array with action, relative path, user, and timestamp. Permission: User can view staging files. #### GET /settings Read plugin settings.
