Rest API

  • Hello!
    For plugins located on www.ads-software.com is there a requirement that access to the database should be only using the Rest Api?
    Is it possible to use direct database access?

    It is possible. But, for specific questions about what’s acceptable for the repo, see https://developer.www.ads-software.com/plugins/wordpress-org/detailed-plugin-guidelines/ and address any detailed questions to [email protected].

    I created a simple live search plugin.
    The plugin creates one table in which it data is saved and the plugin receives data from standard WordPress tables when it make search.
    I used direct database access.
    But I was reading that there is a requirement that access to the database should be only using the Rest API.
    How I understand – I must write specific route (register_rest_route) and use WP_Query in function what will get data from data base.
    I’m under the impression that WP_Query can only be used to work with standard WordPress tables.
    I couldn’t figure out how to use WP_Query to get or store data in my WordPress table created specifically for my plugin.
    Is this true or am I just not knowing enough WP_Query?
