I'm trying to implement external REST APIs in my wordpress website. Can anybody have idea how to do it (whether with a plugin or with programming) - wordpress

I tried to use one plugin called "WP Data Sync". I am also going through its documentation/ support for the same. I am also having wpbakery page builder in my website. So is there any way that we sync with that also?
Note - We have to sync data in the form of images, image gallery, events listing, and the blog posts.

Did you check out WP Data Syncs website at https://wpdatasync.com/ and create an account to check out an API key?
I'm not sure about all APIs, but the ones I've used in the past would require me to register with the API's website, get issued an API key and maybe even designate the key to a specific website (your WordPress site in this case) for security reasons. After that, you would then go to your WP site and setup the API there via WP DataSyncs plugin.
I hope I understood your question and that this helps.

Can I get Wordpress Plugin Data through Wordpress API?

I am looking to build a wordpress website with GatsbyJS (so no PHP usage. Just using Wordpress API and react JSX on the front-end).
I know I can get any core wordpress data at /wp-json route, but I'm not sure about plugin data. I've tried to look up plugin data and it does not seem to be included in wp-json.
I found this "compatible plugins" page: https://v2.wp-api.org/guide/plugins/
Does this mean that for most other plugins data would not be present in the Wordpress API?
Correct. Unless these plugins expose their data via the REST API (either by extending the existing endpoints or by creating their own, like some plugins do), you won't be able to access it.
In such cases, you either ask the developers to expose their plugin's data via the REST API or you code some custom endpoints yourself to get the data you need from them.

Get recent wordpress posts in Laravel

I have a Wordpress site and a Laravel site and I want to display recent wordpress posts in the footer of Laravel site. How can I do this without having my wordpress database information in my config/database.php file and using it in the models? Can I get them using RSS?
Recent WordPress was released with a huge thing called REST API – earlier it was possible only with external plugins. So now we can query WordPress database from external projects. Including Laravel.
set up a local WordPress website, and after installation you got that usual dashboard.
we can already make API calls after installation. No need to configure anything, we just launch the URL in the browser:
we’ve received a JSON with a list of posts – by default, WordPress creates one dummy post.
Basically, URL structure for the API calls is simple:
/wp-json/wp/v2/[endpoint]?[parameters]
Yes, you’ve read it right, we can get posts, categories, tags and other things that are publicly available, so we don’t need any authentication here.
And we also can filter the data with GET parameters, like this:
/wp-json/wp/v2/posts?per_page=2&orderby=title
For more details open link:- Using WordPress REST API in Laravel
You can get the posts by calling an API endpoint:
yoursiteurl/wp-json/wp/v2/posts
It will return all the posts in a json format. You can also see the reference from here.

SPA with content management

I would like to build Single Page Web Application (SPA) with React.js.
Application would need some Content Management System for back-end. I was thinking to use WordPress and their REST-API's but I don't know how to retrieve data from my wordpress installation.
Back-end and front-end would be in different domains so just building WP theme with React.js wouldn't work.
Basically, I don't know how to call and populate data from wordpress to my front-end.
I would need someone to point me to the right direction. And, maybe recommend easier CMS to use in this task.
Actually it is very easy to access your WordPress website data through HTTP REST API
Here you have the full documentation on WordPress REST APi

What is the use of Wordpress APIs?

I saw in wordpress some APIs being published for developers. What could a developer gain by using those APIs?
I think you've taken API to mean something similar to what Flickr and Vimeo do, which they are not. They are simply ways for you to access and ammend core functionality of the Wordpress platform, so as to bend it to do what ever it is you need it to do.
There are ways to pull data from your blog to a mobile devise, but that is a very different question.
Wordpress API are for those that want to develop a theme, or writing custom plugins for Wordpress.
Either way, you can use to integrate Wordpress in your exisiting php site, using the powerful backend as an administration tool and the using the API to retrieve the content and present it in your (already) website.

Does Wp-Ecommerce works with LinkPoint gateway?

I have an online store working with osCommerce, actually works fine. But there is no integration with the store blog which is in Wordpress fortunatelly.
Now I've seen a new payment plugin for wordpress called Wp-Ecommerce , so i decided to migrate the whole store to wordpress since this can be treated like a CMS.
This plugin has really handy features like Meta Tag properties for each product in order to do SEO position for the store.
I've been reading about wp-ecommerce and searching through the web to find a chance to integrate it with LinkPoint, which is my client's store gateway. I must say this is an imperative requirement I have to do in order to migrate the whole site to Wordpress
Has anybody make this possible ? get wordpress working with LinkPoint ?
Looks like it currently only supports Authorize.Net. You may want to check out Shopp. The Linkpoint plug-in is not free but it is available.
