Wordpress Plugins Mycred 4.8 (616 reviews)
The myCred Rest API is a WordPress plugin that extends the myCred loyalty system beyond the website itself. It provides a set of RESTful endpoints that let external programs retrieve and modify user reward data through standard HTTP requests. Instead of logging into the WordPress dashboard to adjust points or badges, you can send a request from any connected system, such as a mobile app, an external dashboard, a CRM, or an e-commerce platform. The plugin translates those requests into actions on your myCred database, allowing for updates to user balances, badge assignments, rank changes, and more. Everything is transmitted as JSON, which keeps integration straightforward for most modern programming languages and platforms. Developers who work with WordPress and myCred will find that this plugin removes the usual barrier between the loyalty database and outside code. In short, this is the tool you use when your rewards program needs to communicate with the rest of your technical infrastructure.
For site administrators and developers, the API covers most everyday operations. Administrators can create and delete users, fetch existing profiles, award or deduct points, and manage multiple point types. They can also check balances, review activity, and respond to changes without ever opening a browser. It also handles badges and ranks, letting you grant or revoke them when certain conditions are met. For example, you can trigger a badge when a user completes an external sign-up or places an order on a separate platform. Transaction logs and point histories are exposed too, so you can pull detailed records of how users have earned or spent their points. Bulk awards let you update many users at once. Newer versions added the ability to query logs by date range and to fetch all available badge types. These practical endpoints reduce the amount of custom code you need to write, making external integrations faster to build and easier to maintain.

On the technical side, the myCred Rest API relies on API key authentication. Each key can be assigned specific capabilities, so you decide which endpoints a given application can access. That granularity is useful in setups where multiple clients interact with the same WordPress site. There is also rate limiting to prevent abuse. The plugin requires WordPress 4.9 or newer and the myCred plugin version 1.7.5 or later. It is designed to be extended through WordPress hooks and filters, and the source code follows GPL licensing, so developers can modify it freely. Data exchanges use JSON over the REST protocol, which means almost any web-connected service can work with it. Custom point types are supported as well, giving you more options for how points are structured. SSL/TLS is recommended for production use to keep keys and user data secure during transmission. For those building custom features, the plugin provides a clear entry point for adding new endpoints without disrupting existing functionality.
Because the API opens up your myCred data to outside systems, it changes how you can deploy your loyalty program. A native mobile app can let users check balances and redeem rewards on the go. Custom dashboards can display live progress toward the next rank. An e-commerce setup can keep customer loyalty data synchronized with your main store. Community platforms, learning management systems, and content sites can award points based on activity that happens outside of WordPress. Gamified learning platforms can award points for course completion, and content sites can gate premium articles behind a points balance. Since the plugin only handles the API layer, it always works alongside your existing myCred badges, ranks, and points, rather than replacing them. For teams that need their rewards system to fit into a larger ecosystem, this is a practical and dependable option that avoids vendor lock-in and keeps you in control of your own data.
