Third-party APIs allow WordPress to communicate with external services. Using wp_remote_get
or wp_remote_post
, developers fetch or send data to APIs, enabling functionalities like real-time updates, data synchronization, or content embedding.
$response = wp_remote_get('https://api.example.com/data');
if (is_wp_error($response)) {
return;
}
$data = wp_remote_retrieve_body($response);
