Our analysis
AI-assistedThe WooCommerce Legacy REST API plugin restores the functionality of the Legacy REST API for WooCommerce versions 9.0 and later. It allows users to continue using the same endpoints and user keys as in earlier versions of WooCommerce. This plugin is particularly useful for those who have existing integrations relying on the Legacy REST API.
This plugin is safe to use with WooCommerce 8.9 or older, as it will not interfere with the built-in Legacy API. However, it is not compatible with High-Performance Order Storage, and users are encouraged to upgrade their code to the current WooCommerce REST API for better performance and compatibility.
Best for: This plugin suits WooCommerce users who need to maintain Legacy REST API functionality after upgrading to version 9.0 or later.
What it does well
- ✓Restores Legacy REST API functionality for WooCommerce 9.0 and later
- ✓Maintains compatibility with existing user keys and endpoints
- ✓Safe to use with WooCommerce 8.9 or older
Where it falls short
- •Not compatible with High-Performance Order Storage
- •Users are encouraged to upgrade to the current WooCommerce REST API
Verdict
The plugin provides a necessary solution for users reliant on the Legacy REST API, though it has limitations regarding compatibility with newer features.
From the developer
Automattic's own description of WooCommerce Legacy REST API, lightly tidied.
The Legacy REST API will no longer part of WooCommerce as of version 9.0. This plugin restores the full functionality of the removed Legacy REST API code in WooCommerce 9.0 and later versions.
For all intents and purposes, having this plugin installed and active in WooCommerce 9.0 and newer versions is equivalent to enabling the Legacy REST API in WooCommerce 8.9 and older versions (via WooCommerce – Settings – Advanced – Legacy API). All the endpoints work the same way, and existing user keys also continue working.
On the other hand, installing this plugin together with WooCommerce 8.9 or an older version is safe: the plugin detects that the Legacy REST API is still part of WooCommerce and doesn’t initialize itself as to not interfere with the built-in code.
Please note that the Legacy REST API is not compatible with High-Performance Order Storage. Upgrading the code that relies on the Legacy REST API to use the current WooCommerce REST API instead is highly recommended.
