A Python wrapper for the Wordpress REST API v1-2 that also works on the WooCommerce REST API v1-3 and WooCommerce WP-API v1. Forked from the excellent Woocommerce API written by Claudio Sanches and modified to work with Wordpress: https://github.com/woocommerce/wc-api-python
I created this fork because I prefer the way that the wc-api-python client interfaces with the Wordpress API compared to the existing python client, https://pypi.python.org/pypi/wordpress_json which does not support OAuth authentication, only Basic Authentication (very unsecure)
- [x] Create initial fork
- [x] Implement 3-legged OAuth on Wordpress client
- [ ] Implement iterator for convent access to API items
Wordpress version 4.7+ comes pre-installed with REST API v2, so you don't need to have the WP REST API plugin if you have the latest Wordpress.
You should have the following plugins installed on your wordpress site:
- WP REST API (recommended version: 2.0+, only required for WP < v4.7)
- WP REST API - OAuth 1.0a Server (https://github.com/WP-API/OAuth1)
- WP REST API - Meta Endpoints (optional)
The following python packages are also used by the package
- requests
- beautifulsoup
Install with pip
pip install wordpress-apiDownload this repo and use setuptools to install the package
pip install setuptools
git clone https://github.com/derwentx/wp-api-python
python setup.py installIf you have installed from source, then you can test with unittest:
python -m unittest -v testsGenerate API credentials (Consumer Key & Consumer Secret) following these instructions: http://v2.wp-api.org/guide/authentication/
Simply go to Users -> Applications and create an Application, e.g. "REST API". Enter a callback URL that you will be able to remember later such as "http://example.com/oauth1_callback" (not really important for this client). Store the resulting Key and Secret somewhere safe.
Check out the Wordpress API endpoints and data that can be manipulated in http://v2.wp-api.org/reference/.
Setup for the old Wordpress API:
from wordpress import API
wpapi = API(
url="http://example.com",
consumer_key="XXXXXXXXXXXX",
consumer_secret="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
api="wp-json",
version=None,
wp_user="XXXX",
wp_pass="XXXX"
)Setup for the new WP REST API v2:
#...
wpapi = API(
url="http://example.com",
consumer_key="XXXXXXXXXXXX",
consumer_secret="XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
api="wp-json",
version="wp/v2",
wp_user="XXXX",
wp_pass="XXXX"
)Setup for the old WooCommerce API v3:
#...
wcapi = API(
url="http://example.com",
consumer_key="ck_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
consumer_secret="cs_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
api="wc-api",
version="v3"
)Setup for the new WP REST API integration (WooCommerce 2.6 or later):
#...
wcapi = API(
url="http://example.com",
consumer_key="ck_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
consumer_secret="cs_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
api="wp-json",
version="wc/v1"

Example of returned data:
>>> r = wpapi.get("posts")
>>> r.status_code
200
>>> r.headers['content-type']
'application/json; charset=UTF-8'

data- tested to handle complex queries like filter[limit]
- fix: Some edge cases where queries were out of order causing signature mismatch
- hardened helper and api classes and added corresponding test cases
- Initial fork
- Implemented 3-legged OAuth
- Tested with pagination
