we all know, it is not "if it will have error", is "when it will have error" hence the biggest consideration for us is always about the support. i must say the dev team from rest routes has done a great job in responding in my issues. thank you. highly recommended.

Do yourself a favour get the pro... its worth a lot more than the value its up for... This plugin is a game changer... 1. the plugin itself.. very well coded, no slow down... what so ever.. once you get the hang of it very east to use.. thats coming from a total novice.. if you already know what you are doing... well... ill say no more.. 2. The support... is the best ive ever had... replying in a very timely manner.... and couldn't be any more helpful if he tried. would give it 10 stars if I could.

Best plugin for custom endpoints! My requirements were to have the plugin work with afc-plugin, custom fields and array-parameters. At first there were some issues but the support is great, help was provided fast and competent and helped to solve all my issues! So thumbs up!

Useful plugin with a developer looking to extend the feature set. Fast responce to queries and suggestions. Pro version is well worth the minimal cost.
