Hosting Platform API

Would love a simple install-level rate limit option where if an IP gets too spammy, it gets auto-blocked for a while (like 24 hours). A basic way to see/manage blocked IPs and get alerts would be huge too. This would make it way easier to handle abuse without custom workarounds.

We should be able to set up our own feed or monitor for vulnerability notifications, through e.g. Slack or the WP Engine API.

It would be incredibly useful for enterprise customers if there were an API endpoint for getting the WP Engine user audit activity. We would like to pull this data into our SIEM so that we can create alerts on anomalous activity.

[I know this isn't the focus of this board. A WP Engine support rep suggested I raise this concern on Canny and I don't see any more appropriate boards.] Code deployments via GitPush sometimes take much longer than it feels like they should. From the progress messages in the terminal the process tends to hang multiple times, usually at the beginning or ending of phases. (I have one that seems to be stuck after "checking submodules" right now.) At first I thought that dev and staging environment might be more susceptible but that's evidentiy not the case. It's a little unsettling to have a production deployment hung up for no apparent reason, with no expectation of how long it'll take and no idea what might be up in the air on the site while it's running.

There is a feature in user portal which shows current storage per install / site. It would be useful to have that information available via API.

I would like to automate the "Prepare ZIP" functionality for the daily snapshots so I can download the backups. I currently do this manually on a weekly basis. From what I can tell, this would require 2 or 3 new endpoints: * GET /installs/{install_id}/backups - get the list of recent backups (maybe they contain info if there are current ZIP files available) * POST /installs/{install_id}/backups/{backup_id}/prepare_zip - initiate "Prepare ZIP", allowing me to control the notification emails * GET /installs/{install_id}/backups/{backup_id}/prepare_zip - monitor status of "Prepare ZIP" and, upon completion, provide the URL to the ZIP file I've seen a couple of other similar posts on the matter but since my idea is fairly specific, I figured I'd throw my hat into the ring as well.

Hello, We would like to be able to automate the go-live of our website, therefore we need to have a way to programmatically copy a website from staging to production. It seems it is not possible to do it now with the API. We would like to have this option in the API.

When I go to https://my.wpengine.com/installs/[my_instance]/plugins_and_themes#plugins I can see a list of the plugins installed in my site, and also in the Status column I can see those plugins that need to be updated and even those that present security risks. I think it would be good to have something like an API endpoint we can use to automate alerts when security risks are detected without having to open the WPE dashboard.

This will enable us to create automation

I'd like to be able to programmatically retrieve the Technical Contact(s) for a given Installation. Currently, it's only possible to retrieve a list of users and their installs, but not their role as technical contact. Ideas would be adding a technical_contact[] field to the Installation object, or an extra endpoint for /installs/{install_id}/contacts As a less-friendly alternative, it'd be handy to have a way to export the Technical Contacts list as CSV.
