In the process of using WordPress to run my personal blog, sometimes I want to be able to organize all the articles I have written. Of course, the method I want to use is of course other than manually look slowly, such as obtaining WordPress-related information through some APIs.
After researching, I found several different APIs to use, and finally I chose the python-wordpress-xmlrpc package.
If you are interested in this package, welcome to their PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/python-wordpress-xmlrpc/
Auto Post
If you use this package in the first time, you need to install it:
pip3 install python-wordpress-xmlrpc
And our sample code:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*- import json from wordpress_xmlrpc import Client, WordPressPost from wordpress_xmlrpc.methods.posts import NewPost # Login with open('account.json', 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f: account = json.load(f) id = account['user'] password = account['password'] url = 'http://clay-atlas.com/xmlrpc.php' which = 'draft' wp = Client(url, id, password) post = WordPressPost() post.post_status = which post.title = 'API TEST' post.content = 'API TEST CONTENT' post.excerpt = 'API TEST EXCERPT' post.terms_names = { "post_tag": ['Python'], "category": ['Python'] } wp.call(NewPost(post))
Output:
http://clay-atlas.com/xmlrpc.php
Of course I filled in my website to demo, and you should change it to your own.
And the article type I published is "draft". If you don't want to post a draft, but publish directly, you should use "publish" instead of "draft".
