EDD REST API V2 – Products

This document relates specifically to Version 2 of the EDD API.
Documentation for Version 1 is here.

The
EDD REST API provides access to product information via the /products/ endpoint. You may access multiple products or a single product.

NOTE: The products endpoint does not need a key or token to render publicly available products. If your product is publicly available on the front of your site, it’s available via API without a key or token.

A basic products query looks like this:

http://example.com/edd-api/v2/products/

A sample products response looks like this,
