Headless WordPress REST API Authentication

Headless WordPress REST API Authentication

Many developers and top agencies have learned how to use WordPress as a headless CMS, where WordPress stores the content, but Modern JavaScript driven websites and applications display the content and provide customized interactivity.

One of the key components to using WordPress as a Headless CMS involves authenticating to allow full read, write and delete access to everything the WordPress REST API provides.

In this course you will learn the following:

• The different types of authentication available

• How to work with the JWT Authentication Standard

• How to setup WordPress to offer authentication

• How to write secure JavaScript to authenticate

• How to build login and logout forms

• How to add, edit and delete content using authenticated WordPress REST API calls

Throughout the course we will build a custom decoupled project using simple JavaScript, but all of the code can be easily converted over to work with React, Vue, Angular and other JavaScript frameworks.
