A Python wrapper for the Wordpress REST API that also works on the WooCommerce REST API v1-3 and WooCommerce WP-API v1. Forked from the excellent Wordpress API written by Claudio Sanches @ WooThemes 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
You should have the following plugins installed on your wordpress site:
- WP REST API (recommended version: 2.0+)
- 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/
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"
