Overview
The Legacy REST API will no longer part of WooCommerce as of version 9.0. This plugin restores the full functionality of the removed Legacy REST API code in WooCommerce 9.0 and later versions.
For all intents and purposes, having this plugin installed and active in WooCommerce 9.0 and newer versions is equivalent to enabling the Legacy REST API in WooCommerce 8.9 and older versions (via WooCommerce – Settings – Advanced – Legacy API). All the endpoints work the same way, and existing user keys also continue working.
On the other hand, installing this plugin together with WooCommerce 8.9 or an older version is safe: the plugin detects that the Legacy REST API is still part of WooCommerce and doesn’t initialize itself as to not interfere with the built-in code.

Its Amazing
No option to turn off the legacy rest api
by thomasjarvisdesign·1 year ago
For some reason our clean install of woocommerce has the legacy rest api enabled and greyed out.
Installing this plugin does not give us an option to turn off the api!
Anyone got a solution on how to turn off the legacy rest api?
Doesn’t work
by easilyconfused·1 year ago
Installed in order to use Stripe, but despite jumping through many hoops, I still don’t have Stripe as an option? I wasted an afternoon for nothing.
