# 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 →](https://docs.indreelforge.com/platform-guides/wordpress)

## 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?

### Content Teams

Publish a blog post and its social promotion from one workflow, or save drafts for editorial review.

### Agencies

Post to client WordPress sites from the same dashboard and profiles you use for their social accounts.

### Automation Builders

Turn n8n, Make or Zapier workflows into WordPress posts with the same API you use for social publishing.

## 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.
