API plugins for WordPress facilitate communication between a WordPress site and external services, data sources, or applications by providing tools to make HTTP requests, receive webhook payloads, authenticate with third-party APIs, and expose or transform WordPress data for external consumption. They are used by developers building integrations with CRMs, marketing automation platforms, payment gateways, shipping providers, ERPs, and data analytics tools. Some API plugins offer no-code or low-code mapping interfaces that let non-developers connect WordPress to services like Zapier, Make (Integromat), or HubSpot without writing PHP. For developers, a good API utility plugin abstracts authentication flows (OAuth, API keys, JWT), handles rate limiting and error retries, and provides logging for debugging failed requests.
