nickbreen/wp-api repository overview

This image uses client-cli⁠ to extend WP-CLI⁠ to provide a command line WP-API⁠ client for WordPress⁠.

client-cli uses OAuth 1.0a and requires interaction to link the client application with WordPress.

⁠Prerequisites

You'll need a WordPress installation with the rest-api⁠ and OAuth 1.0a Server⁠ plugins.

Add a new client application using wp api oauth1 add or Admin > Users > Applications in WordPress.

You will need the key and secret.

⁠Usage

Simplest is to run (login to the container) interactively, optionally specify the values as convenient environment variables.

mkdir -p wp-cli
chmod +w wp-cli
docker run -it \
  -e URL=http://example.com \
  -e KEY=XXXXX \
  -e SECRET=ZZZZZ \
  -v ./wp-cli:/home/wp-cli \
  nickbreen/wp-api -i -l

Register the client application using the key and secret.

wpapi oauth1 connect $URL --key=$KEY --secret=$SECRET

... and use it!

wpapi post list $URL

⁠Issues

If the client doesn't recognise the command, wp-cli issues the error: Error: This does not seem to be a WordPress install.
