Roadmap

• [x] Create initial fork

• [x] Implement 3-legged OAuth on Wordpress client

• [ ] Implement iterator for conveniant access to API items

Requirements

Wordpress version 4.7+ comes pre-installed with REST API v2, so you don’t need to have the WP REST API plugin if you have the latest Wordpress.

You should have the following plugins installed on your wordpress site:

• WP REST API (only required for WP < v4.7, recommended version: 2.0+)

• WP REST API - OAuth 1.0a Server (optional, if you want oauth. https://github.com/WP-API/OAuth1)

• WP REST API - Meta Endpoints (optional)

• WooCommerce (optional, if you want to use the WooCommerce API)

The following python packages are also used by the package

• requests

• beautifulsoup

Installation

Install with pip

pip install wordpress-api

Download this repo and use setuptools to install the package

pip install setuptools
git clone https://github.com/derwentx/wp-api-python
python setup.py install

Testing

If you have installed from source, then you can test with unittest:

python -m unittest -v tests

Getting started

Generate API credentials (Consumer Key & Consumer Secret) following these instructions: http://v2.wp-api.org/guide/authentication/

Simply go to Users -> Applications and create an Application, e.g. “REST API”. Enter a callback URL that you will be able to remember later such as “http://example.com/oauth1_callback” (not really important for this client). Store the resulting Key and Secret somewhere safe.

Check out the Wordpress API endpoints and data that can be manipulated in http://v2.wp-api.org/reference/.

Setup

Setup for the old Wordpress API:

from wordpress import API

    consumer_secret="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
    api="wp-json",
    version=None,
    wp_user="XXXX",
    wp_pass="XXXX"
