WPGraphQL

With Simple-JWT-Login, you can now securely authenticate API requests for WPGraphQL endpoints using JWT. This integration makes it easier to build headless WordPress applications that require secure, token-based authentication for GraphQL queries and mutations.

Key Features:​

  • JWT Authentication for WPGraphQL – Securely access GraphQL endpoints with JWT tokens.
  • Seamless Integration – Works natively with WPGraphQL, enabling authentication for protected queries and mutations.
  • Flexible Authentication – Include a JWT in request headers to authenticate API requests effortlessly.

This feature is ideal for headless WordPress setups, allowing front-end applications to authenticate users and perform secure GraphQL operations.
