WordPress Publishing API

Publish posts with images or video to your self-hosted WordPress site — or save them as drafts — with the same API call you use for your social platforms.

What You Can Post to WordPress

WordPress connects with your site URL, a username and an application password, through the WordPress REST API. Self-hosted WordPress sites are supported.

Text Posts

Publish standard WordPress posts from the same request that posts to your social accounts.

Posts with Images

Attach images to a post. They are uploaded to your site with the post.

Posts with Video

Publish a post with a video file up to 64 MB (your server's own upload limit may be lower).

Quick Start: WordPress Posting API

Once WordPress is connected to a profile, posting is one request. Replace YOUR_API_KEY with an API key from your dashboard and my-brand with your profile name.

curl -X POST https://api.indreelforge.com/api/upload_photos \
  -H 'Authorization: Apikey YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -F 'user=my-brand' \
  -F 'title=Event recap: Launch Week' \
  -F 'photos[]=@photo1.jpg' \
  -F 'platform[]=wordpress' \
  -F 'wordpress_status=draft' \
  -F 'wordpress_categories=3' \
  -F 'wordpress_tags=12'

This request creates a draft post with a photo on your WordPress site, with a category and a tag, ready for review in wp-admin. Read the WordPress guide →

Key Features for WordPress

Application Passwords

Connect with a WordPress application password instead of your login password. IndReelForge verifies it with your site before saving and stores it encrypted.

Drafts, Categories and Tags

Set wordpress_status to draft to review before publishing, and add wordpress_categories and wordpress_tags (by ID) to file the post.

Scheduling

Schedule WordPress posts from the dashboard or the API alongside the social posts that promote them.

Blog + Social in One Call

Publish to your site and to X, LinkedIn, Facebook and more in one request.

How It Works

1

Create an Application Password

In wp-admin, open Users → Profile → Application Passwords, add a new one, and copy the generated password.

2

Connect It to a Profile

In the IndReelForge dashboard, open a profile, click Connect next to WordPress and enter your site URL, username and application password. We verify them live.

3

Get Your API Key

Generate an API key from the dashboard and send it in the Authorization header of your requests.

4

Publish via API or Dashboard

Send platform[]=wordpress with the upload endpoints, or post and schedule from the dashboard.

Who Uses the WordPress Posting API?

WordPress API FAQ

Can I publish to WordPress via API?

Yes. Connect your site URL, username and an application password to a profile, then send platform[]=wordpress with the IndReelForge upload endpoints.

Does it work with WordPress.com?

IndReelForge supports self-hosted WordPress sites with the REST API enabled.

Can I save posts as drafts?

Yes. Send wordpress_status=draft and the post is saved as a draft instead of being published.

What is an application password?

A separate password WordPress generates for apps, under Users → Profile → Application Passwords. It lets IndReelForge post without your login password, and you can revoke it at any time.
