Apigee for Wordpress plugins and Shortcodes

[#1]

Hello, just a quick question, I assume it is possible to create a wordpress plugin that uses apigee for the api data backend but because wordpress uses mysql I am unsure.

I would like to find an easy way to manage api data and would like to create a wordpress plugin where I can display certain queries on a page using shortcodes.

Is this possible if it is does anyone know of any documentation on this.

Thank You

Dear @Bryan ,

Welcome to Apigee Community 🙂

Yes, It's possible. Apigee has Backend As A Service product called BaaS which is built on open source platform called usergrid. You can store the data in Apigee Backend & Display same in wordpress site using APIs provided by BaaS. You need to write a simple wordpress plugin that makes http/https call (API Call) to access BaaS data.

You can find all the data related to API BaaS here. To implement a wordpress plugin you need wordpress plugin development expertise.

HI @Bryan

If your question is how to consume rest apis in a word press application, you will simply require to make HTTP rest calls and use with response in your application. The HTTP API was added in WordPress 2.7 and extended further in WordPress 2.8.
