First you need to activate woocommerce APIs from wordpress backend and generate API keys
Check https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-rest-api/
Then use the following code based on your needs
Example: You need to retrieve product details
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/wp-json/wc/v3/products/794");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "GET");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "consumer_key" . ":" . "consumer_secret");
$result = curl_exec($ch);
if (curl_errno($ch)) {
echo 'Error:' . curl_error($ch);
}
curl_close ($ch);
Note: consumer_key and consumer_secret was generated by API from backend
and 794 mean product ID
