    Is it possible to create an API Application that can give a wordpress plugin a command to do function x? And function x would tell the plugin to create a zip file with the name widget.zip or something.

    So basically the wordpress plugin sends an api request to my server, the api application gives the go ahead for the plugin to do funxtion x which would create the zip file.

    If this is possible how could I create the plugin so that the API call couldn’t just be edited out? Without using obfuscation or ioncube or something.

    Does this make sense?

    Hitting that first… You can’t. The plugin MUST be GPL compatible, which means anyone who downloads it can edit it. So … No matter what, someone could edit the API call from the plugin. The functionality on your end, of course, is your own.

    And yes, in theory you could do that.
