Get data from Woocommerce via server api

@d-healey Thank you for the info. I'll check that out!

I was struggling with HTTP JWT token authentication for API requests. I edited .htaccess and wp-config files. Taking tokens was fine but http header authentication still was not working.

I've found the real cause that is Wordfence Security plugin for Wordpress. The Firewall was blocking the API requests.

So, I disabled Prevent discovery of usernames through '/?author=N' scans, the oEmbed API, the WordPress REST API, and WordPress XML Sitemaps option in Firewall Options of Wordfence, and then the issue is solved.

@orange Are you using a real server or are you using an offline test server like xampp?

First, for test purpose I used Xampp. That was ok, no problem.

But after that I also tested on the real server, and that was the problem. Sometimes Xampp and Real Server situations can be different.

Anyone here using Woocommerce Amazon S3 Storage extension and custom endpoints?

I think my client is using A3 - but not WooCommerce, its a custom coded end point.

@d-healey I use woo + Amazon. What's a custom endpoint?

[d.healey]

@dustbro Custom endpoint is server side code that you can interact with through POST/GET requests.

The WordPress REST API is more than just a set of default routes. It is also a tool for creating custom routes and endpoints. The WordPress…

I contacted the developer of Woocommerce License Manager plugin.

He is now building a new API that uses JWT Authorization (without API secret or key usage) with much more usable than Woocommerce API stuff. If any of you are interested, there will be no need to make custom endpoints if this new API will be finished.

Below POST/GET requests (such as Activate / Deactivate License with Machine ID, Get Purchased Products, Get Product Image / Meta Data, Add License that bought from a reseller...etc) can be made with only a user login and this API. User roles can be adjusted also.

I'll still need to custom endpoints, the APIs don't provide all the options I need.

Which kind of endpoints do you need more?

@d-healey I tried to read everything and understand it is still very difficult. would it be possible to have an example of how to load an image from a server? this could help to better understand this system. I have tried many times without success. I myself have a nas at home but I can't. if you want it of course :)

If I clear that list then it will download again. Does this list persist in the compiled plugin or is it just in HISE? Nope, that's also the functionality i...

A custom one :p It's a lot to explain but basically I'm letting the user log in from my plugin, I display all of the products available on my site that can be loaded as an expansion, I also indicate which products the user has a license for and allow them to install/uninstall those ones. I want to do this in as few server requests as possible, using a custom end point allows me to do everything except installing in 2 requests. And a few additional requests to download product images. The number of requests required for installing depends on the number of .hr files that are needed.

Anyway the problem I'm having at the moment is the WooCommerce function to provide an S3 download link is not working properly. I've asked on the WooCommerce support page but no luck so far.

Update: I solved my issue, I'd setup my Amazon credentials incorrectly.

I can't wait to buy this from you :)

As I previously mentioned, I've contacted to the developer of Woocommerce License Manager.

For anyone who is interested, Woocommerce License Manager API v3 will be released soon. I think this plugin will be very useful for anyone is using Woocommerce to sell the software. This version will have:

• JWT Authentication (no api keys needed to embed in your software),
• Activate / Deactivate License with Machine ID (max. activation number can be assigned)
• Get Purchased Products, Get Product Meta Data,
• Register License that sold by resellers

And other ton's of features. API documentation is here: https://firassaidi.com/docs/documentation-woocommerce-license-manager/api-version-3/authentication-jwt/

@orange Don't suppose they mentioned how soon did they?! :D

[Christoph Hart]

That's great news. I was thinking about building a generic example project that talks to a WooCommerce store and implements a proper copy protection system, but then I have no experience with Wordpress and plugins whatsoever so if anyone is interested in doing the stuff on this side, it will highly increase the probability of getting realised.

[d.healey]

@orange Will it have a system for transferring licenses between users? Will it be possible for a user to increase the max activations by purchasing additional licenses?

Yes if there would be an example, it would be great. About this, I haven't done anything yet too, except a couple of endpoint trials.

Also if I have time to implement something, I will definately let you know. If you need some wordpress JWT examples or a woocomemrce help, I can definately help with my limited knowledge.

I think license transfer between users is not possible right now.
But there is a "maximum instance" setting for defining max. activations. In this case, the machine ID will be needed of course.
