Best way to access and control remote sites

Hi, I am wondering what is the most efficient and best way to connect and manage remote sites from a wordpress plugin on another account? I have multiple WooCommerce stores, and want to sync products between the stores from my plugin. Should I use the WordPress and WooCommerce REST API? Or, is there a better way?

I recently installed the MainWP plugin. It allows remote sites(child sites) to be manged from a single site(call it the “main” site). On the “main” site, all I have to do to add “child” sites is give it’s URL, admin username and password. This enables the “main” site to control the child site(plugins, posts, pages,….). I was wondering how this works? Will this use the REST API? Or, is there a more efficient way to do it?
