REST API | FEATURES

[James bell]

Please can you explain how we can obtain the following:

Product get requests for simple products & Vatiations

– List of Product Expiry Dates
– List of matching quantity.

Product API Updates for Simple & Variation:

– Via updating meta data key _j79_wcxd_sort_key with a date such as January 5, 2026 12:00 AM this seems to add a new date line but with the same api update I increased the overall quantity and only the overrall quanity changed and the date line January 5, 2026 12:00 AM had quantity 0.

Would it be possible to be able to add new dates with new stock.

For example Carrots:

Current: DATE: 10-12-2025 QTY: 10

UPDATE -> Add DATE: 16-12-2025 QTY: 5

AFTER UPDATE: 10-12-2025 QTY: 10 & DATE: 16-12-2025 QTY: 5

Is this possible to obtain? thank you guys we love the l=plugin so far but this is just letting us down at the moment.

Sorry for the late reply. We’ll get back to you in a few days.

We don’t have special endpoints for REST API, but you can use the product’s meta fields as follows:

• _j79_wcxd_expiries should be in this format: 2018-01-12 x 5, 2018-03-20 x 10. It contains the expiry dates and quantities separated by a comma
• _j79_wcxd_sort_key is only used for ordering of the products on the ‘Edit products’-page. It should contain the date of the oldest expiry date of a product, e.g. 2018-01-12

Please note that we format the dates as YYYY-MM-DD.

For more detail, please check out method Save() in SOFT79_WCXD_Product_Logic.php.
