WordPress REST API Skill (Advanced)

Purpose

Provide a production-ready CLI for WordPress REST API automation. This skill focuses on content workflows (posts/pages), taxonomy (categories/tags), user reads, and safe custom requests without external HTTP libraries.

Best fit

You want a stable CLI for automation and bot workflows.
You need JSON-in/JSON-out for pipelines.
You prefer simple HTTP with no extra dependencies.

Not a fit

You must handle OAuth flows or complex browser-based auth.
You need advanced media uploads (multipart streaming).

Requirements

Node.js 18+ (for native
```
fetch
```
).

One-time setup

Enable the WordPress REST API (default in modern WordPress).
Create an Application Password for a WordPress user.
Confirm the user has the right role (e.g., Editor/Admin).

Install

cd wordpress
npm install

Run

node scripts/wp-cli.js help
node scripts/wp-cli.js posts:list --query per_page=5
node scripts/wp-cli.js posts:create '@post.json'

You can also use npm:

npm run wp -- posts:list --query per_page=5

Credentials

Supported options (first match wins):

Basic auth token:
```
WP_BASIC_TOKEN
```
(base64 of
```
user:app_password
```
)
User + app password:
```
WP_USER
```
+
```
WP_APP_PASSWORD
```
JWT bearer token:
```
WP_JWT_TOKEN
```

Required env

```
WP_BASE_URL
```
(e.g.,
```
https://example.com
```
)

Input conventions

JSON can be inline or loaded from file with
```
@path
```
.

--query key=value

(repeatable) or

--query key1=value1,key2=value2
