About Keytomic
From the official readme · v0.1.4Description
Keytomic is a lightweight companion plugin for the Keytomic platform. It allows Keytomic to send blog drafts to your WordPress site using a secure REST API endpoint.
The plugin does not generate content inside WordPress. It receives a request from Keytomic and creates or updates a post on your site based on the payload you provide.
Key features
- Secure authentication using an API key (stored as a hash).
- REST endpoint for creating or updating posts (slug-based upsert):
- POST /wp-json/keytomic/v1/drafts
- Supports multiple modes:
- ping (connection test)
- draft (creates or updates a draft post by slug)
- publish (creates or updates a published post by slug)
- Converts Keytomic payloads into WordPress post content:
- contentHtml, contentMarkdown, or sections (heading/body)
- Optional featured image sideloading from a provided URL (skips re-sideloading when the same URL is sent again for the same post).
- Stores an SEO meta description and outputs it as a meta description tag on single posts.
- Stores Keytomic JSON-LD structured data and outputs it on single posts.
Authentication
Requests must include the Authorization header:
Authorization: Keytomic YOUR_API_KEY
(As a fallback, apiKey may also be provided in the JSON payload.)
External services
This plugin is designed to be used with the Keytomic platform and requires an API key generated in your Keytomic account.

Data handled:
– API key (entered by the site admin and stored as a hash in WordPress options)
– Post data received from Keytomic (title, slug, summary/excerpt, content, optional hero image URL and alt text, optional SEO description, optional JSON-LD structured data)
When data is processed:
– When Keytomic sends a request to your site’s REST endpoint
– When the plugin downloads a featured image from a URL provided in the request (if used)

Frequently asked questions
Where is the endpoint?

Send a request with mode set to ping and your Authorization header. A successful response returns “Connection successful”.
Does it publish automatically?
It supports both draft and publish modes. Keytomic controls the mode per request.
Does it create duplicates if I send the same draft again?

No. The API key is stored as a hash and verified server-side.
