Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about HuxxConnect – REST API Connector for WordPress
Yes. HuxxConnect's core features are free and always will be. The plugin provides unlimited APIs and endpoints, all HTTP methods, multiple authentication types, caching, logging, import/export, and a comprehensive hook system — all at no cost. HuxxConnect Pro is a separate add-on plugin that adds Post Creator (API-to-posts sync), Remote Unlock (credential migration), pagination, results filtering, and more.
In most cases, yes. HuxxConnect supports the most common authentication methods (Bearer Token, API Key, Basic Auth, and Path Variable for a key in the URL) and all standard HTTP methods. If your API uses a non-standard authentication flow, the huxx_connect/auth/custom filter hook lets you implement any authentication logic.
Use the shortcode in any post, page, or widget: [huxx_api api_id="your_api" endpoint_id="your_endpoint"] Or use the template function in your theme: <?php $data = huxx_api( 'your_api', 'your_endpoint' ); ?>
Yes. Use dynamic path variables ({post_id}, {0}) in endpoint paths, and pass query, header, or body variables at runtime through shortcode attributes or template function arguments.
All API credentials (tokens, keys, passwords) are encrypted at rest using AES-256-GCM. Credentials are never exposed in HTML source, REST API responses, or admin page markup. The encryption supports three tiers — Standard (portable), Advanced (wp-config constant), and Locked (server-bound) — so you can choose the security level appropriate for your environment.
Yes. HuxxConnect includes a built-in migration tool that reads your existing WPGetAPI configuration and converts it to HuxxConnect format — no manual re-entry required.
HuxxConnect includes an optional compatibility bridge (enable it in Settings > WPGetAPI Compatibility) that lets your existing WPGetAPI code work without modification: Function compatibility — wpgetapi_endpoint() calls are routed to HuxxConnect's executor, so existing theme and plugin code continues to work. Shortcode aliases — [wpgetapi_endpoint] and [wpgetapi] shortcodes are registered and mapped to HuxxConnect's shortcode handler. Filter hook bridge — 10 WPGetAPI filter hooks (e.g., wpgetapi_final_url, wpgetapi_header_parameters, wpgetapi_raw_data) are bridged to their HuxxConnect equivalents with return-value validation. Safe coexistence — function stubs are always loaded to prevent fatal errors if WPGetAPI is deactivated. Shortcode aliases are only registered when WPGetAPI itself is not active, avoiding conflicts. This gives you a gradual migration path: enable compatibility, deactivate WPGetAPI, verify everything works, then update your code to use HuxxConnect's native API at your own pace.
Yes, with HuxxConnect Pro. Export your collection from Postman as a JSON file (Collection v2.1 format) and import it directly into HuxxConnect. Authentication settings, path variables, headers, query parameters, and body configuration are all mapped automatically.
Yes. Set a cache duration (TTL) per endpoint. HuxxConnect automatically detects whether your site uses an object cache (Redis, Memcached) or falls back to WordPress transients. Cache can be cleared per-API or per-endpoint from the admin interface.
Please report security bugs found in the source code of the HuxxConnect plugin through the Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program. The Patchstack team will assist you with verification, CVE assignment, and notify the developers of this plugin.
