We use Woocommerce and connect it to another platform via make.com at my organization and noticed that they have been trying to move away from the legacy REST API. It seems that for the time being Woocommerce is going to support use of its legacy REST API, but newer features and improvements are sometimes not available. I have 2 questions, one for the community and one for make (though either is welcomed to answer both).
Hello @Murray_Carson
Thanks a lot for raising this here in the community!
To answer your questions:
-
We’re not affected by the deprecation of the Legacy REST API endpoints, as we aren’t using that API version. The legacy WooCommerce REST API endpoint is
{host_url}/wc-api/v3and we are using the current API endpoint which is{host_url} /w-ison/wc/v3V. -
We are currently blocked by technical challenges in order to be able to work on the new Woocommerce app and modules.

Hi @Michaela,
I appreciate your quick feedback, and the specificity in the response. What concerns me is the documentation for setting up woocommerce:
Perhaps the documentation needs an update, or maybe the only issue is with the webhook, but I’m confused because I’m reading that I have to enable the Legacy API in order to use the modules. Perhaps that is why you added point 2 in your response? Is the Legacy API needed in order to set up the connection even though the new API is being used for the actual connections?
Thanks for your patience, I just realized I hadn’t quite asked the question I wanted answered.

Hello again @Murray_Carson thank you very much for clarifying your question
This is exactly right, thanks a lot for flagging the outdated documentation article. We have passed the feedback to the documentation team and they will update the information as soon as possible.

So has the documentation been updated? And what is the actual correct procedure to connect WooCommerce now?
I can’t use the Legacy Rest API either so looking for the solution.
