wordpress-api-pro

name wordpress-api-pro version 3.8.2 license MIT-0 description Production-grade WordPress REST API integration for managing posts, pages, media, WooCommerce products, Elementor content, SEO meta, ACF, and JetEngine fields. Use when you need to retrieve, draft, create, or update WordPress content programmatically on sites where the user has provided explicit credentials. For any operation that writes to a live site, get explicit user approval for the target site, post/product IDs, and final action before executing. Prefer drafts first. Run batch operations in dry-run mode first; use --execute only after review. Remote URL media downloads and local file reads are restricted by safety boundaries. Also includes a no-auth Tier-1 site audit (PageSpeed, SSL, security headers, CMS/PHP fingerprint, SEO basics) for cold pre-sale checks, and authenticated plugin/SEO-stack discovery. permissions {"env":["WP_URL / WP_SITE_URL, WP_USERNAME / WP_USER, WP_APP_PASSWORD (auth)","WP_CONFIG (optional sites.json path), WP_ALLOWED_FILE_ROOTS (file-read scope)","WP_ALLOW_REMOTE_URLS, WP_REQUIRE_HTTPS, WP_REQUIRE_ALLOWLIST, PAGESPEED_API_KEY"],"network":["Outbound HTTP/HTTPS to the configured WordPress site(s) /wp-json/ REST API — plaintext http:// is permitted (warn-only) unless WP_REQUIRE_HTTPS=1","https://www.googleapis.com/pagespeedonline (site_audit only)"],"filesystem":["Read-only, scoped to WP_ALLOWED_FILE_ROOTS (default: cwd)"],"shell":"none (Python only; no shell-out)"} WordPress API Pro Manage WordPress sites through the REST API. Runs as an OpenClaw skill or in Claude Code. Running in Claude Code This skill runs the scripts/*.py directly. From the skill directory ( ~/.claude/skills/wordpress-api-pro/ after bash INSTALL.sh ): Auth: export WP_URL / WP_USERNAME / WP_APP_PASSWORD , or use config/sites.json for multi-site. Dependencies: the ACF / SEO / JetEngine / plugin-detection scripts need requests ( python3 -m pip install requests , ideally in a venv). The core post/page/media/WooCommerce/batch scripts use the stdlib only. Local dev sites (e.g. http://site.local ) work — the private/HTTP restriction applies only to --allow-remote-url media downloads, not the WP API base URL. Pairs with the Elementor MCP kit ( siteagent-elementor-studio ): build page structure with the MCP, then do media uploads, SEO meta, custom fields, and WooCommerce here. Safety rules Never publish or update live content without explicit user approval. Confirm target site, IDs, fields, and status. Use least-privilege credentials. Prefer a dedicated WordPress user/application password scoped to the required role. Do not store production credentials in the repo. Use environment variables when possible. Protect config files. If you create config/sites.json , keep it local, untracked, and chmod 600 config/sites.json . Batch changes are dry-run by default. Add --execute only after reviewing the dry-run output. Targeting every site is blocked by default. Add --allow-all only when the user explicitly approved all configured sites. Local file reads are restricted. --content-file and media uploads can read only from the current working directory by default. Set WP_ALLOWED_FILE_ROOTS to opt into another safe directory. Remote media URLs are opt-in. upload_media.py requires --allow-remote-url or WP_ALLOW_REMOTE_URLS=1 , allows HTTPS only, and blocks private/local network hosts. Raw SEO meta keys warn by default. seo_meta.py emits a stderr WARNING when writing a key not in the Rank Math / Yoast allowlist. Set WP_REQUIRE_ALLOWLIST=1 to refuse instead. ACF/JetEngine custom-field keys are unaffected — arbitrary keys are their intended API. Interactive publish confirmation on TTY. create_post.py and update_post.py prompt for confirmation before --status publish when run interactively. Pass --yes / -y to bypass. Non-interactive/agent runs are unchanged. Authentication Recommended environment variables: export WP_URL= "https://example.com" export WP_USERNAME= "wp-api-user" read -rs WP_APP_PASSWORD export WP_APP_PASSWORD Application Password setup: Open https://your-site.example/wp-admin/profile.php . Create a new Application Password for a dedicated API user. Copy it once and store it in a secret manager or environment variable. Rotate/revoke it when no longer needed.

Public probes only; run cold pre-sale. scripts/describe_cpt.py — discover a CPT's rest_base, taxonomies, and field keys (read-only). scripts/seed_content.py — batch-create CPT entries with ACF/Jet fields, taxonomies, and featured images from a JSON dataset. Dry-run by default; pass --execute to write. scripts/elementor_content.py — read/update Elementor _elementor_data . scripts/woo_products.py — manage WooCommerce products. Seeding dynamic content (CPT) For dynamic sites (JetEngine/ACF listings), populate the entries the listings render: describe_cpt.py --post-type projects — learn the rest_base, taxonomies, field keys. Write a JSON dataset (array of {post_type, title, content, status, terms, featured_image, acf, jet} ). seed_content.py --dataset data.json — review the dry-run plan (no writes, stdlib-only). seed_content.py --dataset data.json --execute — create (drafts by default). Notes: the CPT, taxonomies, and ACF field-groups must already exist (admin-side). featured_image accepts a media id or a URL/path (URL fetch needs --allow-remote-url ). --execute needs the requests dependency (used by the ACF/Jet writers). Re-running creates duplicates (no upsert yet). Verification before live writes Before any live mutation: Confirm the site URL. Confirm post/page/product IDs. Confirm fields and status. Prefer draft unless the user explicitly approves publish . Run dry-run for batch operations. Keep a backup/export for critical content.
