Migrating your WooCommerce store to High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) can feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to tracking external API calls during the transition. That’s why I developed the WP REST API Logger (External Requests Only)—a lightweight, efficient plugin designed to log external REST API requests directly into a CSV file. This tool is a game-changer for store owners and developers who want a clear view of API interactions during a migration.
In my latest video tutorial, I’ll walk you through how to install, configure, and use this plugin to monitor your API traffic during the HPOS migration process. Whether you’re syncing inventory, updating customer data, or troubleshooting API errors, this plugin ensures you stay on top of every external request. The clear CSV logs make it easy to identify issues, validate data integrity, and streamline debugging.
What You’ll Learn in the Video:
- Installation & Setup: Get the plugin up and running in minutes.
- Real-Time Logging: See how the plugin captures external API requests in real time.
- Full URL Logging: Understand how to track the complete request URL, making it easy to pinpoint specific API calls.
- Migration Insights: Learn how this data can help you troubleshoot and optimize your WooCommerce HPOS migration.
Important Note: Logging API calls can create overhead and impact performance, especially on high-traffic sites. For this reason, I recommend disabling the plugin once it’s no longer needed to avoid unnecessary strain on your server.
