WordPress API Integration Plugin
Budget: ₹2,500 – ₹3,000 INR
My WordPress site requires a custom PHP plugin that connects to a third-party service through its API. The core job is to establish a reliable, secure integration so data can flow smoothly both ways without manual intervention.
Scope of work
• Build a fully self-contained plugin that follows WordPress coding standards and works on the latest stable release.
• Authenticate with the external API, handle token refreshes, and expose a settings page inside wp-admin where I can enter or change the credentials.
• Create clear functions (or class methods) that pull data from the API, push updates back, and log any errors for easy troubleshooting.
• Make the integration usable in the front end—either via a shortcode, Gutenberg block, or simple template tag—so I can drop content returned by the API into pages.
• Ensure the code is clean, well-commented, and compatible with typical shared-hosting limits (no hard server dependencies beyond standard PHP extensions).
Deliverables
1. Full plugin source in a zipped folder, ready to upload.
2. An install & setup guide that explains each setting, required cron (if any), and how to extend the integration later.
3. Brief test report confirming the plugin connects, retrieves sample data, and pushes an update successfully on a fresh WordPress install.
Acceptance criteria
– No PHP errors or warnings under WP_DEBUG.
– Successful API calls demonstrated with real or sandbox credentials.
– Follows WordPress security best practices (nonce checks, escaping, sanitizing).
Tools & tech involved: PHP 8.x, WordPress, REST/JSON, wp_remote_get / wp_remote_post, Git for versioning if preferred.
If questions arise about the API endpoints or additional features, let’s clarify early so the first iteration lands exactly where it needs to.
