- [Instructor] What if I told you you can create, read, update, and delete content in your WordPress site from anywhere without ever going to the WordPress site itself? Sounds ridiculous, right? Well, it's true, thanks to the WordPress REST API. Every WordPress site on the web has a restful API we can use to request existing content, edit that content, create new content, and delete content, all without visiting the site itself. That means we can build sites and apps and experiences using WordPress as a data store, which opens up a whole new world of opportunities. In this course, I'll give you an in-depth tour of the WordPress REST API to give you a solid understanding of how it works, what you can do with it, and how to build experiences both inside WordPress and in standalone third-party applications, all powered by the WordPress REST API. You may have heard of headless WordPress. Well, that's part of the story, but it's not the whole story. The WordPress REST API changes everything about how we interact with WordPress and what we can do with its data, and I'm here to show you how to get it right, so let's get crackin'.
