The client id field and client secret field need to be obtained after creating a new Application in Wordpress. Using wordpress.com, it can be done with the applications manager as documented on wordpress's oauth2 page. Note that this package uses grant_type => password documented on the oauth2 page (i.e. to use username and password directly)

WordPress API

This package allows Laravel users to interact with the WordPress API. I personally use this as a way to abstract the WordPress backend from the frontend of the website.

Usage

Usage is simple as you can hope...

<?php

use Neo\WpApi\WpApi;
use Neo\WpApi\Service\GuzzleService;

// Get the instance of the WP Api
$wp = new WpApi(new GuzzleService);

// Set the configuration
$config = array(
	'client_id' 	=> '',
	'client_secret' => '',
	'username' 		=> '',
	'password' 		=> '',
	'site_id'		=> '',
);

// Connect to the API
$wp = $wp->setConfig($config)->connect();

// Make your API calls

$posts = $wp->postsByPage(1, 10);

$post = $wp->postById(400);

$post_likes = $wp->api('GET', 'sites/$site_id/posts/$post_id/likes');

Laravel Users

Laravel users can just include the service provider Neo\WpApi\WpApiServiceProvider in their app configuration file.

You can now run artisan config::publish to publish the configuration file and customise.

<?php

$wp = App::make('wp-api')->connect();

// Make your api calls...

$posts = $wp->postsByPage(1);

Advice

This WordPress API uses the grant "password" type which is meant for testing purposes, though I would not mind using it on a real WordPress site since it allows me completely abstract my wordpress site as a back end.

Note that its recommended you use the 2-step authentication and create an Application password in your Wordpress.com dashboard. Using your actual Wordpress password is not recommended.

Enjoy.
