Rest API

Introduction

The REST API from Techjoomla provides a simple framework for exposing the data within Joomla to be used by other applications. It works like a bridge between your Joomla site and any other non-Joomla application that needs to access data from your Joomla website.

For instance, some mobile applications are dependent on or use data from other web applications. To make this easy and in a standardized way, the Joomla Rest API is used. It’s targeted mainly at developers, who would want to write custom plugins to make the data from other components available via an API.

Non-developers would mainly want to install this to enable the existing plugins so that they work with mobile applications.

Useful API component

Martin Brampton (2).
Posted on 26 August 2021

Functionality

This is a very useful component. It does the hard work for setting up arbitrary APIs within Joomla, including user authentication.

Ease of use

It is tricky to find the correct documentation, but once found, implementation is fairly easy and quick.

Support

Support was very good for a free component, although a little slow

Documentation

Once you find the correct documentation, there is enough to create your own APIs easily and quickly by writing plugins for the API group.

I used this to: Automating the Let's Encrypt (R) DNS authentication method for renewing SSL wild card certificates.
