REST API & CLI

Last updated: February 12, 2026

If you use the External Calls generation method, you can trigger exports using the command line or HTTP requests.

WP-CLI

Trigger export checks manually or via system cron:

wp cnvex checkexports

Trigger exports remotely via HTTP GET request.

Endpoint:

GET /wp-json/cnvex/v1/checkexports

Authentication:

To secure the endpoint, define the following constants in your wp-config.php file:

define( 'CNVEXSCHEDULERREQUESTUSERNAME', 'yourusername' );
define( 'CNVEXSCHEDULERREQUESTPASSWORD', 'yourpassword' );

If defined, you must provide these credentials via Basic Auth headers when calling the API endpoint.
