This is a plugin built specifically for developers that use Easy Digital Downloads to sell add-ons for freemium WordPress plugins.
It's often the case that freemium plugins have an "add-ons" page within the wp-admin panel that shows a list of all add-ons available for a plugin. In most cases the list is retrieved from an RSS or json feed.
EDD Mark As Addon provides an easy way to mark EDD products as "add-ons" and exposes all of them through a new route within the WordPress REST API without the need to manually code the feed.
Once installed, all products marked as add-ons are available through the
wp-json/wp/v2/edd-addons route.
Example:
http://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2/edd-addons
Some info for developers
- All add-ons are cached into the
wp_edd_addons_api_cached transient. The transient is deleted each time a download is updated or created.
- You can modify the query $args for the REST API through the filter
wp_edd_addons_api_query.
- Install the plugin like any other WP plugin.
- Create or edit a download and enable the option "Mark download as add-on and expose in rest api.".
All products marked as add-ons are available through the
wp-json/wp/v2/edd-addons route.
