NAME

App::html2wp - Publish HTML document to WordPress as blog post

VERSION

This document describes version 0.004 of App::html2wp (from Perl distribution App-html2wp), released on 2020-05-01.

FUNCTIONS

html2wp

Usage:

 html2wp(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta]

Publish HTML document to WordPress as blog post.

To use this program, first create ~/html2wp.conf containing the API credentials, e.g.:

 proxy=https://YOURBLOGNAME.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php
 username=YOURUSERNAME
 password=YOURPASSWORD

You can also put multiple credentials in the configuration file using profile sections, e.g.:

 [profile=blog1]
 proxy=https://YOURBLOG1NAME.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php
 username=YOURUSERNAME
 password=YOURPASSWORD
 
 [profile=blog2]
 proxy=https://YOURBLOG2NAME.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php
 username=YOURUSERNAME
 password=YOURPASSWORD

and specify which profile you want using command-line option e.g. --config-profile blog1.

then:

 % html2wp post1.html

(You should provide blog post title in your HTML in the <title> or <meta name="title" content="...">. You can also put categories in <meta name="categories" content="cat1,cat2,..."> and tags in <meta name="tags" content="tag1,tag2,...">.)

The above command will create a draft post. To publish directly:

 % html2wp post1.html ... --publish

Note that this will also modify your HTML file and insert this element at the beginning of the document:

 <meta name="postid" content="1234">

where 1234 is the post ID retrieved from the server when creating the post.

After the post is created, you can update using the same command:

 % html2wp post1.html

You can use --publish to publish the post, or --no-publish to revert it to draft.

To set more attributes:

 % html2wp post1.html ... --comment-status open \ --extra-attr
     ping_status=closed --extra-attr sticky=1

Another example, to schedule a post in the future:

 % html2wp post1.html --schedule 20301225T00:00:00

This function is not exported.

This function supports dry-run operation.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

• comment_status => str (default: "closed")

  Whether to allow comments (open) or not (closed).

• extra_attrs => hash

  Set extra post attributes, e.g. ping_status, post_format, etc.

  Path to HTML document to publish.

• password* => str

• proxy* => str

  Example: Chttps://YOURBLOGNAME.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php.

  Equivalent to --extra-attr post_status=published, while --no-publish is equivalent to --extra-attr post_status=draft.

• schedule => date

  Schedule post to be published sometime in the future.

  Equivalent to --publish --extra-attr post_date=DATE. Note that WordPress accepts date in the YYYYMMDD"T"HH:MM:SS format, but you specify this option in regular ISO8601 format. Also note that time is in your chosen local timezone setting.

Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.
