Описание

UpdaWa keeps track of pending updates for your WordPress installation and makes that information available in two ways:

Admin dashboard – a dedicated UpdaWa menu item shows the current update status as a formatted JSON view or an HTML table (plugins, themes, WordPress core).
REST API endpoint – GET /wp-json/updawa/v1/status returns the same data as JSON, protected by a per-site Bearer token that you generate and manage from the admin panel.

One-click status refresh for plugins, themes, and WordPress core.
JSON view with pretty-printed output.
Table view with colour-coded update indicators.
Secure, per-site API token (64-character hex string, cryptographically random).
Token regeneration with a single click.
QR code in the Token API tab encodes the site name, site URL, and token for easy mobile access.
Zero external dependencies — the QR code library is bundled with the plugin.

The endpoint is read-only and requires a valid Bearer token:

`bash

curl -H «Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN» https://example.com/wp-json/updawa/v1/status
`

The response is a JSON object with keys generated_at, wordpress, plugins, and themes.

Установка

Does the plugin send any data to external servers?: No. All update checks use WordPress’s built-in functions (wp_update_plugins, wp_update_themes, wp_version_check), which are the same calls WordPress itself makes. The bundled QR code library runs entirely in your browser and sends no data anywhere.
How is the API token stored?: The token is stored as a WordPress option (updawa_token) in your site’s database. It is never transmitted or logged by the plugin itself.
What happens to my data when I delete the plugin?: The plugin registers an uninstall routine that removes the updawa_token option from the database when the plugin is deleted through the WordPress admin.
Can I use the REST API from a remote monitoring system?: Yes. Copy the Bearer token from the Token API tab and include it as the Authorization header in your HTTP requests. The endpoint returns a JSON snapshot of the current update status.
How do I regenerate the token?: Open the Token API tab and click Regenerate token. The old token becomes invalid immediately.

Change plugin name to UpdaWa because Update Watchdog is too similar to existing ones
