REST Easy
REST Pro Tools gives you super powers to manage and test the
WP REST API.
Features include one-click disabling of all routes, all /users routes, and the entire REST API itself.
Get in and lock things down with a few clicks. Easily whitelist any user or IP address to always allow access.
For fine-grained control, REST Pro Tools goes granular. Configure access for specific routes based on user role. Plus get control over error messages, response codes, JSONP, and REST headers. You can force SSL, add custom fields, and check response headers for any URL. Developed by 20-year WordPress guru, Jeff Starr.
