## Description

**Did you find this plugin helpful? Please consider [leaving a 5-star review](https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/json-rest-api-force-ssl).**

**Note: This plugin requires the [WP REST API (WP API)](https://wordpress.org/plugins/json-rest-api/)
plugin.**

For site owners who want the WP REST API served over SSL always and forever.

All HTTP requests to the WP REST API will be 301 redirected to their HTTPS equivalent.

Also, don’t use this plugin unless you have an SSL certificate as your endpoints
will break! 🙂

**Development of this plugin is done [on GitHub](https://github.com/fjarrett/json-rest-api-force-ssl).
Pull requests welcome. Please see [issues reported](https://github.com/fjarrett/json-rest-api-force-ssl/issues)
