WordPress is a popular content management system that allows users to create, manage and publish digital content, such as blog posts, articles, and news updates. One of the most useful features of WordPress is the ability to create posts.
With miniOrange WordPress Post Sync Plugin, developers can integrate WordPress with other external and third-party system APIs, and automate the process of creating and publishing content. In this blog post, we will discuss how to sync a WordPress post from an external API automatically .
Our use case involves a website that publishes news articles. The website has a backend system that receives news articles from journalists and stores them in a database. We want to automate the process of publishing these news articles on our WordPress website.
To automate this post-creation process, you can use our WordPress Post Sync using API plugin which will sync the news articles from the external or third-party APIs to WordPress easily and automatically.
Let's say you have an API that provides you with the data which you want to display on your WordPress site. Maybe you're pulling in news headlines, product listings, or weather data. Instead of manually creating a new post for each piece of data, you can use the miniOrange Post Sync plugin to automatically create posts based on the API data.
To get started, you'll need to install the miniOrange Post Sync plugin on your WordPress site. Once installed, you'll need to configure the plugin settings to connect to your API securely. The plugin supports a variety of authentication methods, so you can securely connect to your API using an API key, OAuth 2.0, Bearer token, or Basic Authentication.
Next, you'll need to define post templates for the plugin to use when creating new posts. Post templates allow you to specify how the API data should be formatted in the WordPress post. For example, you might define a template that includes the title, description, and image of a news article.
Once you have your post templates set up, you'll need to configure the post-sync settings. This includes specifying how often the plugin should check the API for new data automatically, and what types of posts to create. You can also set up filters to exclude certain data from being synced, or to only sync data that meets certain criteria, if your API provides filtering option.
Using the miniOrange Post Sync plugin can save you a lot of time and effort when it comes to creating and updating posts on your WordPress site using external APIs. Here are some of the key benefits:
In conclusion, the miniOrange Post Sync plugin is a powerful tool for automating the process of creating posts on WordPress using data from an external API. By configuring post templates, and sync settings, you can save time and effort while keeping your site up to date with the latest information.
You need to follow these steps to setup the WP Post Sync plugin and set everything in motion:
Step 1: Connect to the external REST API from where you want to get the data.
Step 2: Map the API data to your WP Post attributes.
Step 3: You can go to Sync Analytics tabs to check the current status and progress of the sync.
Step 4: If you have setup everything then you should see the posts in your WP Post tab like this:
