internet. I am trying to create an application that allows people to create users. I am a computer noob and was wondering how I would do it. I want people to plug in their information through my WordPress site into DynamoDB.
What should I do?
I have already created an API and function within AWS and am wondering if there is any plugin available. If not, what would be the best course of action?
As per as I know there is no Plugin for WordPress. However, this guy made a functional WordPress plugin. Here is GitHub link

and there is another discussion about this topic.
What is the best way to interface with DynamoDB in Wordpress?

Hello stackoverflow friends 🙂
I want to make a portal in wordpress with the Zabbix API. Can I do it in the WordPress platform itself or do I have to write the code elsewhere?
Is this possible?
Does anyone ever tried to do this kind of stuff?
Is there a plugin to call APIs?
I really need an answer to know if it is possible to do this type of things or if I need to look for another type of CMS’s.
Thanks and good work!
Yes it is possible to use that API in WordPress. You can create it as a plugin. Here's more details on how to create a plugin, from the official documentation : https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/
To make the API calls, have a look at the HTTP API : https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/http-api/
To do database interactions(like saving the data to your db or fetching it), have a look at the wpdb class : https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/wpdb/
If you want to run cron jobs (scheduled tasks), please have a look at the WP-Cron: https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/cron/
There are several built functions, hooks and classes in WordPress that will aid you. Just go through the developer documentation provided by WordPress.
I have a question about integration e.g. Woocommerce with external app.
What is the best and safe method to accomplish this goal?
Woocommerce has REST API but it might be quite vulnerable and will not show anything (products etc.) to non logged user(which is understandable).
Only safe idea that's comes to my mind is creating scripts inside WordPress and access them via AJAX but I'm worrying about performance of this method.
Maybe there is a right way that I'm not familiar with?
For that purpose, you should create an API from scratch of the wordpress database. wordpress databse has all of you need in a good way and only some php codes needed to create and execute the API. then in you app with AJAX you should access that.

The right way is likely creating your own API if you don't want to use Woocommence's one. That means you make a plan of what you need to expose, all the routes and start building the API. I warmly recommend the book by Phil Sturgeon - Build APIs you won't hate. The author is also a co-founder of https://phptherightway.com/ so it's quite reputable.
Im using Salesforce to store recruitment details and job positions. I'm building a WordPress site, and I was wondering if there was a way I can use SalesForces API to automate sending the data to WordPress, so I can publish job opportunities, for example?
Has anyone had any experience with automating data from SalesForce to Wordpress? Is it possible?
Have you looked at Zapier? It has connectors to both Salesforce and Wordpress. Without more detail I can't say if it can do what you want, but it might be worth checking out.
Apologies if this may not be in the right place, but I'm really struggling to find (and understand) any information on this and have had no response from the dedicated forum.
I'm running the Flatastic Theme on Wordpress and have WooCommerce running it as a multi-vendor marketplace.
A client of mine wants to upload multiple products at once using API methods. They currently do this with eBay, their Magento site and Google Merchant.
What I want to know is, how easy it to set up my end? If I visit the WooCommerce settings, generate a key for that user and assign the right to read/write, will that suffice or do I need to do more on the backend?
Any help appreciated as I don't just want to give them the keys and assume it will work.
Thanks,
M
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.
