Title: WP REST API – OAuth 1.0a Server Author: Joe Hoyle Published: 2016-10-06 Last modified: 2024-08-05 --- Search plugins ![](https://ps.w.org/rest-api-oauth1/assets/banner-772x250.png?rev=3004388) This plugin **hasn’t been tested with the latest 3 major releases of WordPress**. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues when used with more recent versions of WordPress. ![](https://ps.w.org/rest-api-oauth1/assets/icon-256x256.png?rev=3004388) # WP REST API – OAuth 1.0a Server By [Joe Hoyle](https://profiles.wordpress.org/joehoyle/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/rest-api-oauth1.0.4.4.zip) * [Details](https://tt.wordpress.org/plugins/rest-api-oauth1/#description) * [Reviews](https://tt.wordpress.org/plugins/rest-api-oauth1/#reviews) * [Development](https://tt.wordpress.org/plugins/rest-api-oauth1/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/rest-api-oauth1/) ## Description This plugin uses the OAuth 1.0a protocol to allow delegated authorization; that is, to allow applications to access a site using a set of secondary credentials. This allows server administrators to control which applications can access the site, as well as allowing users to control which applications have access to their data. This plugin only supports WordPress >= 4.4. The latest stable version is also available from the [WordPress Plugin Directory](https://wordpress.org/plugins/rest-api-oauth1/). ### New to OAuth We strongly recommend you use an existing OAuth library. You’ll be best off if you understand the authorization process, but leave the actual implementation to well- tested libraries, as there are a lot of edge cases. Start reading from [the Introduction](https://tt.wordpress.org/plugins/rest-api-oauth1/docs/introduction/README.md?output_format=md) to get started! ### For OAuth Veterans If you already know how to use OAuth, here’s the lowdown: * The plugin uses **OAuth 1.0a** in * We use the **three-legged flow** * To find the REST API index, apply the [API autodiscovery process](http://v2.wp-api.org/guide/discovery/) * The endpoints for the OAuth process are available in the REST API index: check for `$.authentication.oauth1` in the index data. - The **temporary credentials** (request token) endpoint is `$.authentication. oauth1.request` (typically `/oauth1/request`) - The **authorization** endpoint is `$.authentication.oauth1.authorize` (typically`/ oauth1/authorize`) - The **token exchange** (access token) endpoint is `$.authentication.oauth1. access` (typically `/oauth1/access`) * Your callback URL must match the registered callback URL for the application in the scheme, authority (user/password) host, port, and path sections. (**Subpaths are not allowed.**) * The only signature method supported is **HMAC-SHA1**. * OAuth parameters are supported in the Authorization header, query (GET) parameters, or request body (POST) parameters (if encoded as `application/x-www-form-urlencoded`).** OAuth parameters are not supported in JSON data.** ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/26cc1f2d6bf8110a36104b5d92eacf62c6948609c6f8c0afbb12ac8af9d5014f? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[very good plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/very-good-plugin-2117/)󠁿 [springapidev](https://profiles.wordpress.org/springapidev/) 2021-03-06 it is very good plugin, please update. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1b858abea6bc56a08cb57bae336d91f75daeb45f7cbc34092c67e52af1894485? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Good But](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-but-179/)󠁿 [Ahmed Hnewa](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ahmedriyadh/) 2021-02-22 Really Useful And Good Plugin But Please 1- Reply on The Support Forum 2- Update it To Work Good With Last WordPress Verison 3 – No Clear Docs 4 – not work with localhost ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/0df54330eb38126db80a0ce8142b8fa7b4c4b548bb796ed2f138c8ff2c83513e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Not working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-working-3206/)󠁿 [majidmad](https://profiles.wordpress.org/majidmad/) 2020-04-05 Missing parameter oauth_token ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/399560c7c25f6078e119aa3ad62432469f986ef337ecb723c618a8fd25be4ae7? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Automatically delete application](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/automatically-delete-application/)󠁿 [mphramin](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mphramin/) 2018-09-08 I have create application with consumer name, description and callback. but after few our, that application had removed. why did that? ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/35512f5059008ab0a423898ef22ade924f169d2d94b6900cb337d05f814a69fc? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Worked like a charm!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/worked-like-a-charm-118/)󠁿 [Rehmat Alam](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rehmatworks/) 2017-10-08 Got this working after some good amount of work!
