Authentication methods for Rest APIs


Basic Authentication Method

Basic Authentication allows you to authenticate the WordPress REST API endpoints access using a basic token obtained in an encoded format using the user’s WordPress login credentials or client credentials provided by the plugin.

OAuth 2.0 Authentication

It involves the security token generated using the most secure OAuth 2.0 Authentication protocol. The plugin both as an OAuth/Identity Provider to provide a Bearer token (access token/JWT token) on successful validation and an API Authenticator for allowing API access accordingly based on the token validation.

JWT Authentication

JWT authentication allows you to authenticate the WordPress REST API endpoint access using a valid JWT token (JSON Web Token). The plugin provides an endpoint to generate a Bearer JWT using the valid user’s WordPress login credentials. The generated token can be used to authenticate the WordPress REST API endpoints.

API Key Authentication

API Key Authentication allows you to authenticate the WordPress REST API endpoint access using an API key provided by the plugin. This method eliminates the need for using the user’s WordPress login credentials for generating the Bearer API key (secret token).

Third Party Provider Authentication

Third-party Authentication allows you to authenticate the WordPress REST API endpoints using an external token provided by External providers like Firebase, Azure, Amazon Cognito, Keycloak, Google, Facebook, Okta, ADFS, Apple etc. The plugin validates these external tokens directly from its provider and allows APIs access on successful validation.

Frequently Asked Questions


The WordPress REST API Authentication plugin allows you to secure the endpoints of the WordPress site by adding authentication methods such as JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and OAuth 2.0, JWT, or API Key. You can enforce stricter access controls and ensure that only authorized users or applications can interact with your site's data via the REST API.

The miniOrange REST API Authentication plugin is especially useful when building applications that need to interact with your WordPress site's data while keeping it secure from unauthorized access or potential attacks.

The WordPress REST API Authentication plugin is beneficial for several reasons, especially if you want to enhance the security and control access to your WordPress site's data when using the WordPress REST APIs.

1. Secure Access to REST API Endpoints: By default, the WordPress REST API allows public access to API endpoints, which may expose sensitive information or allow unauthorized modifications to your site's content.

2. Preventing Unauthorized Access: Without authentication, anyone can access the publicly available REST API endpoints, potentially leading to data leaks or misuse of sensitive information. The plugin allows you to restrict access to specific users or authorized applications, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and data breaches.

3. Limiting Access Permissions: The plugin provides the ability to grant different levels of access to different users or applications. You can create specific access roles and permissions for API requests, allowing for granular control over what actions can be performed through the REST API.

4. Enhancing API Security: By implementing industry-standard authentication methods like JWT or OAuth 2.0, the plugin improves the overall security of your WordPress REST APIs. These authentication mechanisms use encryption and tokens to ensure that communication between the client and server is secure and protected against various types of attacks, such as man-in-the-middle attacks and token forgery.
