WordPress.com allows developers to create powerful applications and websites, using the WordPress.com API. With the WordPress.com API, developers can create custom applications and websites that integrate with the WordPress.com platform in meaningful ways.
The WordPress.com API is accessible via REST, which allows developers to interact with WordPress.com in a variety of ways. Additionally, developers can extend the WordPress.com platform by creating custom plugins and themes.
Here are some examples of what you can build with the Wordpress.com API:
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
wordpress_com: {
type: "app",
app: "wordpress_com",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://public-api.wordpress.com/rest/v1.1/me`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.wordpress_com.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
},
})
},
})
Wordpress.com uses OAuth authentication. When you connect your Wordpress.com account, Pipedream will open a popup window where you can sign into Wordpress.com and grant Pipedream permission to connect to your account. Pipedream securely stores and automatically refreshes the OAuth tokens so you can easily authenticate any Wordpress.com API.
Pipedream requests the following authorization scopes when you connect your account:
global
GET
https://public-api.wordpress.com/oauth2/authorize
?
client_id={{oauth.client_id}}
&
redirect_uri={{oauth.redirect_uri}}
&
state={{oauth.state}}
&
response_type=code
&
scope={{oauth.space_separated_scopes}}
POST
https://public-api.wordpress.com/oauth2/token
content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
accept: application/json
client_id={{oauth.client_id}}
&
client_secret={{oauth.client_secret}}
&
redirect_uri={{oauth.redirect_uri}}
&
grant_type=authorization_code
&
code={{oauth.code}}
