Wordpress API Client

A Python client for interacting with the WordPress REST API (Posts). This library simplifies common operations such as creating, updating, retrieving, deleting, and listing posts. It is built on top of the requests library and integrates logging with trackrace (or falls back to Python’s built-in logging).

Overview

The Wordpress API Client provides an easy-to-use interface for working with WordPress posts via the REST API. It supports all the fields and parameters defined in the WordPress REST API Documentation for Posts, making it a robust solution for developers who need to integrate WordPress functionalities into their Python applications.

Key Features

• Create, Update, Delete, and Retrieve Posts: Manage posts with a simple API.
• Filtering and Querying: Use various parameters (e.g., date, author, categories, tags) to filter and search posts.
• Authentication: Supports basic authentication using Base64 encoding.
• Logging: Integrated logging via trackrace (or standard logging as a fallback) for debugging and monitoring API calls.
• Comprehensive Field Support: Explicitly supports all fields outlined in the official WordPress REST API documentation.

Installation

Install the package using pip:

pip install wordpress-api-client

Usage

Below is a quick example demonstrating how to use the client:

from wordpress_api_client import WordpressClient

# Initialize the client with your WordPress site URL, username, and password.
wp = WordpressClient("https://example.com", "your_username", "your_password")

# Create a new post.
new_post = wp.create_post(
    title="My First Post",
    content="Hello, WordPress!",
    status="publish"
)
print("Created Post ID:", new_post.get("id"))

# Retrieve the created post.
post = wp.get_post(new_post.get("id"))
print("Post Title:", post.get("title", {}).get("rendered"))

# Update the post.
updated_post = wp.update_post(new_post.get("id"), title="Updated Post Title")
print("Updated Post Title:", updated_post.get("title", {}).get("rendered"))

# Delete the post.
deleted_response = wp.delete_post(new_post.get("id"))
print("Deleted Post Response:", deleted_response)

# List posts with filtering (e.g., only 5 posts sorted by date in descending order).
posts_list = wp.list_posts(per_page=5, order="desc", orderby="date")
print("Posts List:", posts_list)
