Let’s walk through some real-world tests and simulations to help you interact with the MemberPress REST API. By testing the API in action, you’ll gain a clearer understanding of how it works and how you can integrate it with your membership site or external systems.

Tools you’ll need:

• Postman: A popular tool to send requests to REST APIs and analyze responses.
• cURL: A command-line tool that allows you to send HTTP requests to APIs.

🚀 Step-by-Step Simulation with Postman

Before starting, you’ll need to ensure that the API is enabled in MemberPress and that you have your API Key.

Setting up Postman:

1. Download and Install Postman: Get Postman
2. Create a New Request:
   • Open Postman and click on “New” to create a new request.
   • Choose the method (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) depending on what action you want to perform.
3. Set the Request URL:
   • The URL should follow the pattern:
     https://your-site.com/wp-json/mp/v1/{endpoint}
   • Example endpoint: /members for retrieving members.
4. Add Authorization:
   • Go to the Authorization tab in Postman and select Bearer Token.
   • Paste your MemberPress API Key in the token field.
