rubypress

This implements the WordPress XML RPC API as released in version 3.4.

WARNING: SSL is NOT enabled by default for ease of testing for those running OS X systems without setup SSL certs. If this is important to you, checkout the options for instantiating a new client where you can set :use_ssl to true.

Getting Started

1. Install the gem

   A. To your system

   gem install rubypress

   B. Or using Bundler

   Inside your Gemfile:

   gem 'rubypress'

2. Create a new client

   > wp = Rubypress::Client.new(:host => "yourwordpresssite.com", :username => "[email protected]", :password => "yourwordpresspassword")

3. Make requests based off of the WordPress XML RPC API Documentation

   > wp.getOptions
   
   => {"software_name"=>{"desc"=>"Software Name", "readonly"=>true, "value"=>"WordPress"}

   (just a small excerpt of actual options for the sake of the whole brevity thing)

   > wp.newPost(:blog_id => "your_blog_id", :content => { :post_status => "publish", :post_date => Time.now, :post_content => "What an awesome post", :post_title => "Woo Title" })  
   => "24"  

   (returns a post ID if post was successful)

To make further requests, check out the documentation - this gem should follow the exact format of the WordPress XML RPC API. For even further clarification on what requests are available, take a look in the spec folder.

NOTE: If your xmlrpc.php is not on the host root directory, you need to specify it's path. For example, to connect to myhostedwordpresssite.net/path/to/blog:

wp = Rubypress::Client.new(:host => "myhostedwordpresssite.net",
                           :path => "/path/to/blog/xmlrpc.php",
                           :username => "[email protected]",
                           :password => "yourwordpresspassword")
