Wordpressto¶ ↑

Wordpressto is a Ruby library for reading from and writing to Wordpress blogs via their XMLRPC interface.

It was extracted from another project and isn’t yet feature complete, but it is still useful. The documentation is lacking and the test suite is not complete. Remember though: release early and release often!

Installation¶ ↑

sudo gem install wordpressto

Documentation¶ ↑

require 'wordpressto'
blog = Wordpressto::WordpressBlog.new :url => 'http://www.example.com/xmlrpc.php',
                                      :username => 'john', :password=> 'letmein'

# Output the list of categories
blog.categories.each { |c| puts c.name }

# Get the 20 most recent posts
blog.posts.find_recent(:limit => 20)

# Create a new blog post
post = blog.posts.new(:title => 'Test', :description => 'This is a test', 
                      :keywords => 'test, testing', :published => true)
post.save

# Edit a blog post
post = blog.posts.find(123)
post.title = "Edited title"
post.save

# Upload an attachment
attachment = blog.attachments.new(:name => 'Photo of me', :filename => '/home/john/me.jpg')
attachment.save
