Before
The task “Restrict REST API to Logged-In Users” is not yet set up cleanly on your site or still has to be handled manually.
Result
What changes before and after implementation
After
Leon prepares Restrict REST API to Logged-In Users as a Endpoint, so you can review, adapt, and then publish the change in a controlled way.
Implementation
How Leon can implement this task
For Restrict REST API to Logged-In Users, Leon usually uses a Endpoint approach that matches your Security goal.
How can you restrict rest api to logged-in users in WordPress? This use case shows how a focused WordPress code snippet can handle the task without installing a heavy plugin. The snippet should require login for REST API access and produce this result: Unauthenticated REST API requests return an authorization error. You can also log in to LeonLab.ai, describe this WordPress use case in plain English, generate the snippet, review the PHP code, and deploy it to the selected WordPress project.
Unauthenticated REST API requests return an authorization error.

Require login for REST API access.
Safety
What to review before activation
Before pushing Restrict REST API to Logged-In Users live, it is worth doing a short technical and business review.
test the change on staging or in a non-critical project first
review inputs, permissions, and possible collisions with existing plugins
align hardening changes with your existing security rules and plugins
Test & Preview
How to review the change before publishing
Depending on the task, Leon prepares Endpoint. Before a live rollout, walk through the flow once in a controlled way.
- test the change on a connected staging site or in the playground first
- review the prompt and planned implementation before publishing
- approve the code or action only after that review
Common questions about this task
The key answers before you take the prompt into Leon.
How does Leon usually implement this task?
In most cases Leon uses a Endpoint path that fits the task and can be reviewed before anything goes live.
Do I need a connected WordPress site for this?
Not necessarily for planning or code generation. If you want to test or run Restrict REST API to Logged-In Users with real data, a secure connection is useful or required.
Can I review the change before publishing?
Yes. Especially for Security workflows, you should review the prompt, code, or action first and then approve it in the right project.
Can I adapt the prompt to my own project?
