myCred Rest API 1.2.6.1
myCred Rest API unlocks seamless point management for WordPress apps, letting you allocate, revoke, and retrieve user points via a clean RESTful interface. Ideal for developers across Angular, React, or Ruby stacks, it offers easy integration, broad platform support, and scalable perks to gamify user engagement.
Description
myCred Rest API is a WordPress plugin that exposes the myCred points system through a clean RESTful interface. It helps developers build apps that need reliable point management without handling WordPress logic directly in the frontend. With REST routes for awarding, revoking, and retrieving points, you can connect your React, Angular, Ruby, or other stack to myCred-powered gamification. It solves the problem of how to programmatically manage user balances in a scalable, API-friendly way.
Designed to work with the free myCred core plugin, it keeps your point rules in myCred while providing an easy-to-integrate API layer for your WordPress site and connected applications.
