kadamwhite/node-wpapi

A Node.js-based client for the WordPress JSON API

So - once I’ve set up the wordpress test environment, do i need to seed it with content? Because it’s all empty. Am I missing a step somewhere?

@computamike

in other news - i’ve found out why my server was running so slowly - which is good - it just means that my integration tests now fail faster due to missing data.

I’ve pushed a couple of pull requests (updating docs, and fixing integration tests). Is this still alive?

WP-API/node-wpapi#395

@Praful

Hello, I've just created a free site at wordpress.com. I created a js script to read posts using the node-wpapi and ran the script using node script.js. It has no UI component. This is the code I'm using, copied from the Github docs for the node-wpapi:

var WPAPI = require('wpapi');
var wp = new WPAPI({
  endpoint: 'http://myblog.home.blog/wp-json',
  username: 'myusername',
  password: 'mypassword'
});

function readPosts() {
  // Promises
  wp.posts().then(function (data) {
    // do something with the returned posts
    console.log(data)
  }).catch(function (err) {
    console.log(err)
  });
}

readPosts()

However, I get an error with output that starts with:

{ Error: Not Found
    at Request.callback (C:\data\dev\projects\facebook-to-wordpress\node_modules\superagent\lib\node\index.js:706:15)
    at Stream.parser (C:\data\dev\projects\facebook-to-wordpress\node_modules\superagent\lib\node\index.js:916:18)

    at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:63:19)
  status: 404,
  response:
   Response {

I used the console app, https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/api/console/ (using options WP REST API, wp/v2) and that does return posts.

Please can someone help me understand what I'm doing wrong.

Ultimately, I want to write a script that reads my Facebook downloaded data (json format) and creates posts on Wordpress. I couldn't find anything that does this.

Thanks
Praful

@Praful you are missing .get()

It should be wp.posts().get()

Hello! I think unfortunately it's a bit more complicated than that; when we launched this project, wordpress.com did not yet support the REST API so all of our documentation is oriented towards self-hosted sites

If your blog is available through wordpress.com at myblog.wordpress.com, you can't access the API at myblog.wordpress.com/wp-json as you normally would

instead, @Praful try making requests against https://public-api.wordpress.com/wp/v2/sites/myblog.wordpress.com

That would be your endpoint, so a .posts() request would yield https://public-api.wordpress.com/wp/v2/sites/myblog.wordpress.com/posts

There's things that probably won't work because this library was written assuming the normal WordPress API structure, and the addition of the sites/myblog.wordpress.com string following the namespace on .com api endpoints somewhat breaks that assumption. Unfortunately this will likely be a frustration for you.

@computamike I'd say perhaps it's less "alive" than "on life support;" I do intend to revisit the project this winter, but in the meantime I thank you for your PRs. I have seen them and will merge as soon as I'm able to devote an afternoon to catching up.

Hey! I have a small question about an error i'm facing.

 { 
   code: 'rest_no_route',
   message: 'No route was found matching the URL and request method',
   data: { status: 404 } 
}

This happens when I do this in Node:

const WPAPI =     require( 'wpapi' ),
    ENV =         require( 'dotenv' ).config().parsed

const wp = new WPAPI( {
    endpoint: ENV.WP_API_ENDPOINT,
    username: ENV.WP_API_USERNAME,
    password: ENV.WP_API_PASSWORD,
    auth: true
} )

wp.pages().get().then( data => {
    // do something with the returned posts
    console.log( data )

} ).catch( err => {
    console.log( err )
} )

But the thing is, when I navigate to the endpoint i'm using https://website/index.php/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/6 I can see the JSON correctly

@kadamwhite

@meesrutten What is the value of ENV.WP_API_ENDPOINT?

Mees Rutten

@meesrutten

@kadamwhite https://website/index.php/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/6

When I navigate there it shows me the JSON, so the link isn't broken

K Adam White

@kadamwhite

@meesrutten the endpoint should only be the piece ending in wp-json; if you console.log(

console.log( wp.pages().toString() )`

Mees Rutten

@meesrutten

I'll try!

K Adam White

@kadamwhite

I suspect you may see that you’re getting a URL like https://website/index.php/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/6/wp/v2/pages. You should set the endpoint to only https://website/index.php/wp-json

Forgive the poor formatting, trying to use gitter via mobile web ;)

Mees Rutten

@meesrutten

ah it seems to work

Do you know how I can get a certain page by ID?

wp.pages().id(6).then(...) seems to do the trick

Mees Rutten

@meesrutten

@kadamwhite it works now! Thank you so much :)

BTW, love the node-wpapi! My clients still get WordPress and I don't get the headache of WordPress :)

Praful

@Praful

@jlalvarez18 thanks for replying.

@kadamwhite I've switched to developing in a local Docker WordPress install now! However, for others, I used endpoint https://praful.home.blog/?rest_route=/' since my test site on WordPress.com is praful.home.blog. I also used http://prafulhome.wordpress.com/wp-json.

Praful

@Praful

@kadamwhite On another note, I want to add an image to a post. I copied the example you provide in which you create a media object then update the post attribute. This has no effect on the post.

How do I create a post with text followed by one or more photos at the bottom? Also how do I create a gallery post?!

Thanks!

When creating an image, the document example works but only generates a single featuredImage and I need to have different sizes, like thumb, small, large etc. If I use the wordpress UI and set a featured image this happens automatically. But no sure how to do it programmatically.
