For developers

WP-Cli

WP-CLi has been implemented to execute some useful commands.

Force indexation

Only on the given site, an indexation of all retrieved data from all supported contents : wp bea_media_analytics index_site

Multisite

Optionally on a multisite :

• for a site : wp bea_media_analytics index_site --url={url}
• for the entire network : wp bea_media_analytics index_site --url={url}
• for all sites of all networks : wp bea_media_analytics index_site --url=$(wp site list --fields=url)

Unused media

Quickly retrieve unused media for the current site (even with Content Sync Fusion).

List

List all unused media : wp bea_media_analytics unused list

Delete

Delete all unused media : wp bea_media_analytics unused delete

REST Api

The REST Api has been used to display the number of usage for an attachment. The route exemple.com/wp-json/wp/v2/media/{id}/ will return a custom field called bea_media_analytics_counter which represents how many times it has been used into supported contents.

JSON API

WordPress is working a lot with the JSON API, that's why why the bea_media_analytics_counter attribute has been added into attachment's JSON responses.
