The WLMAPIMethods class is the service class for the helper functions in core/api-helper/functions.php. The class does all the work of connecting to the WishList Member API, authenticating, checking internal vs external connection, caching, and processing requests.
The class defaults to connecting to the local WishList Member install. However, it can be used directly to connect to an external WishList Member site. Use of the class directly does require WordPress.
This class along with wlmapiclass.php and functions.php are already installed in the latest version of WishList Member. You do NOT need to include them in your plugin/theme if you have WishList Member installed on your site. Simply begin calling functions or using the class to get started.
Methods
