How To Create Post Using Wordpress Rest Api

[akslal 3]

Hello,

 

I am wondering if anyone knows how to create a WordPress post by using core REST API.

 

I could not pass authentication in ubot and get 401 error when "POST example.com/wp-jason/wp/v2/posts"

 

I'll highly appreciate if someone can help.

How are you trying to access it, via the http post plugin?

 

There is a plugin by the way that does the hard work for you: http://ubotplugin.com/product/advanced-wordpress/

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. 

 

I checked the plugin but I could not figure out if it was based on REST API.

 

I just need to pass the POST request

https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/reference/posts/#create-a-post

 

However, the problem seems to be that I could not do authentication.

https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/using-the-rest-api/authentication/

 

Here this fellow in ubot forum using the OAuth in curl.

I would be happy to pay 50$ if someone can help. 

 

Thank you

I think it may have been using the XML RPC but it may use both now because he has updated the plugin a lot over the years. You can always ask him, this is his forum profile: http://network.ubotstudio.com/forum/index.php/user/5560-pash/

 

For creating post requests your best bet is to use the HTTP Post Plugin but there is also a free plugin which may be able to do everything you need so you may want to try that first: http://network.ubotstudio.com/forum/index.php/topic/20002-free-heopas-custom-plugin-thread-lock-sqlite-thread-variables-email-ini-clipboard/

Hi

 

I was passing nonce in the header and simply doing post request after that. 

 

Like explained here, http://wiki.ubotstudio.com/wiki/Socket_add_parameter

The socket commands are generally avoided because they were never really fully developed but if you are just doing a few simple things they may work for you. I would ensure the headers and everything are being set correctly by looking at the requests using Fiddler.

 

I think Dan talks about using that as well as some other topics in this free course: http://www.bot-factory.com/http-plugin-tutorials/

 

He is using another plugin but the same theories apply to using the socket commands as well.

Thanks jackluter for the video.

 

​Actually currently I am using this plugin to create posts. 

 

​But since REST API is core part of WordPress now, this plugin will be outdated soon.
