 * Hi there,
 * We develop and test our WordPress in multiple environments, among which a staging
   environment.
 * Our whole WordPress is under git, even plugins, and the deployment is automated,
   so that testing can be accurate.
 * The staging environment allows us to validate things before pushing changes live.
   But also to test third party platforms, with which our WordPress, and especially
   WooCommerce works (ex: automation tools).
 * To keep our testings reliable, and test with up to date content, we also built
   a CLI based script which picks the live environment database, cleans its non-
   needed data (orders, customers, …), enable/disables plugins, then deploys it 
   to our test environment.
 * This is very convenient. But there’s one drawback: migrating the database also
   comes with the live API and webhooks accesses.
 * Is there a way to export/import API and webhooks?
 * Thanks!

 * I understand that you want to migrate the staging site to the live environment
   and would like to export/import API and webhooks.
 * I haven’t found any specific solution to your needs, but you may want to take
   a look at these plugins which are both powerful migration tools for your reference:
 * – [Duplicator – WordPress Migration Plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/)
   –
   [WP Migrate Lite – WordPress Migration Made Easy](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-migrate-db/)
 * Hope this helps!

 * Hi [@xue28](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xue28/),
    Thanks for your reply.
   I think we misunderstood each other. I migrate the live database TO the test 
   environment, so that the content is up to date for testing. Not the other way
   around. The plugins you point help moving a whole environment, but won’t do anything
   regarding API and webhooks. What I’m looking for, is a way to kinda save/move
   aside API and webhooks data, then set them back on the staging environment, once
   it’s been updated. So that I can reconnect that staging environment with the 
   third party tools, the same way these connections were set before the update 
   process.
