Title: Developer API: Hooks vs. JWT Last modified: March 18, 2021 --- # Developer API: Hooks vs. JWT * Resolved [neueweide](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neueweide/) * (@neueweide) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/developer-api-hooks-vs-jwt/) * Hi i want to write a PHP code wich can produce zip files from folders and save them to the upload folder… my final thought is to create a automatic process in wich a admin can define a filebird folder wich than will be zipped automatically and where a generated URL will be automatically postet on the website… * I only found this site for API purposes: [https://ninjateam.gitbook.io/filebird/api](https://ninjateam.gitbook.io/filebird/api) Are there any easy to use PHP-Hooks for such requests? Or are you only offering the JWT-API mentioned above? There is no explanation on your API Site how to implement this in a code eviroment… What do you mean by Bearer Token?

See CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER $data = curl_exec($ch); // get info about the request $info = curl_getinfo($ch); // close curl resource to free up system resources curl_close($ch); echo $data; ``` * But you could answer on my first question anywhere 🙂 Are there a view Hooks in PHP? - This reply was modified 5 years, 2 months ago by [neueweide](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neueweide/). * Plugin Support [Bruce](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ninjateamwp/) * (@ninjateamwp) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/developer-api-hooks-vs-jwt/#post-14203789) * Hi [@neueweide](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neueweide/) , * I am glad to know you figured some of these queries out now, may I know which specific question is there that you need an answer to right now, please? * Kind regards, -Bruce- * Plugin Support [Bruce](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ninjateamwp/) * (@ninjateamwp) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/developer-api-hooks-vs-jwt/#post-14205157) * Hi [@neueweide](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neueweide/) , * Can you explain your request better, please.

You can get information about this concept here: [https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/hooks/](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/hooks/) * In your case it would be the “Custom Hooks” wich could give programatically access for other developer like me to your Plugin: [https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/hooks/custom-hooks/](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/hooks/custom-hooks/) * best regards robert * Plugin Support [Bruce](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ninjateamwp/) * (@ninjateamwp) * [5 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/developer-api-hooks-vs-jwt/#post-14224635) * Hi [@neueweide](https://wordpress.org/support/users/neueweide/) , * Maybe what you are describing is possible!
