About BlogWired Gateway
From the official readme · v1.5.2Description
BlogWired Gateway connects your WordPress site to the BlogWired content management platform, allowing you to create and manage blog posts remotely through a secure REST API.
Features:
- Secure API key authentication via custom HTTP header
- Create, update, and retrieve posts remotely
- Set post title, content, status, date, author, categories, tags, and post format
- Upload featured images
- Create new categories and tags on the fly
- Rate limiting to protect against brute-force attacks
How it works:
- Install and activate the plugin on your WordPress site.
- Enter the API key from your BlogWired dashboard into the plugin settings.
- BlogWired connects to your site securely via the REST API to publish content.
All communication between BlogWired and your WordPress site is authenticated using a unique API key transmitted via a custom HTTP header.
Installation
- Upload the
blogwired-gatewayfolder to the/wp-content/plugins/directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen. - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress.
- Go to Settings > BlogWired Gateway and enter the API key from your BlogWired dashboard.
Frequently asked questions
Where do I get my API key?
Log in to your account at blogwired.app and navigate to your site settings. A unique API key for each connected site can be generated there.
Is the connection secure?
Yes. The API key is transmitted via a custom HTTP header (X-BlogWired-API-Key) and is never exposed in URLs or query parameters. The plugin also includes rate limiting to protect against brute-force authentication attempts.
What permissions does the plugin need?
The plugin requires no special permissions beyond what WordPress provides. It uses the WordPress REST API and standard post creation functions.
Can I use this plugin without a BlogWired account?
No. This plugin acts as a gateway and requires an active BlogWired account to function.
