 * Hi. I am just starting to research to get API access to all my data (to build
   an external report). I want to be able to show all new users. All new orders 
   added. New appointments. etc. All this data either comes from native WordPress
   tables or from tables created by plugins. Does the WP-Data-Access let me create
   an API to access this other data? Or does it only work with tables created directly
   for use by this plug in?
 * Hopefully this question makes sense. Thanks.

 * Hi [@systamper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/systamper/)
 * Thank you for reaching out, and yes, your question certainly makes sense.
 * The REST API allows you to access all your tables and views stored in both your
   local and remote databases. This works for WordPress, plugin, and custom tables
   and views. Just make sure to set authorization properly.
 * You can find the REST API documentation here:
   [https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/rest-api/getting-started-rest-api/](https://wpdataaccess.com/docs/rest-api/getting-started-rest-api/)
 * Hope this helps,
   Peter

 * Thanks, Peter. My use case is that I want to be able to connect from an external
   location (e.g. Micros ft Power BI workspaces) to build reports against my data.
   So to be clear, will this create endpoints I can access from outside? Or do I
   just need to stick to the normal WP API to get to that data? It SOUNDS like this
   plugin simplifies that process, which is what I am hoping for. Again, I really
   appreciate your help.

 * Hi [@systamper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/systamper/)
 * Yes, you can use the WP Data Access REST API to access your tables and views 
   from outside. For each individual table and view, you need to:
   – enable the REST
   API – enabled supported HTTP methods– enable anonymous access
 * If you only need to read data, ensure that the REST API for inserting, updating,
   and deleting is disabled (this is the default setting).
 * Let us know if you need any help,
   Peter
