Wordpress has introduced it's rest API for developers to create posts and many more... you can visit their documentation from here.
https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/
Today let's see how we can work with it. We use postman to do the work.
First we need to install the JSON Basic Authentication plugin. (https://github.com/WP-API/Basic-Auth)
And then we can call the API normally. The authentication has to be provided with the format of username:password and it has to be base64 encrypted.
Lets see how we can list posts.
var client = new RestClient("https://wordpress-ASDASD90809.com/wp-json/wp/v2/posts");
client.Timeout = -1;
var request = new RestRequest(Method.GET);
request.AddHeader("Authorization", "Basic BASE64ENC(UNAME:PASSWORD)");
request.AddHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
request.AddParameter("page", "1");
request.AddParameter("per_page", "100");
IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);
Console.WriteLine(response.Content);
You can get the results as follows.
Also you can create categories, create posts list posts and do many more things with the API.
Let's see a bit more details in next post.
Until that, happy coding...
