## Description

Dex SEO (https://getdexseo.com) plans, writes and publishes articles for your site’s
blog. This plugin connects your WordPress to your Dex account:

 * Receives posts from Dex (published, scheduled or draft) with title, content, 
   excerpt, featured image, category and tags.
 * Updates a post when Dex improves it (new internal links, refreshed sections, 
   a new image).
 * Fills the SEO title, meta description and focus keyword in Yoast SEO, Rank Math,
   SEOPress, The SEO Framework or All in One SEO. Without an SEO plugin, it prints
   the title, the description and the article’s structured data itself.
 * Copies the article images to your media library.
 * Lets Dex list your existing posts and categories, so new articles link to them
   and reuse your categories.

#### How it works

Dex sends each change to your site, authenticated by a token you paste in Settings
Dex SEO. The plugin makes no calls of its own besides downloading the images of 
the posts Dex sends. It works even when a security plugin blocks the REST API.

#### External service

This plugin is the connection between your site and Dex SEO (https://getdexseo.com),
the service that writes the articles; it needs a Dex SEO account to do anything.
Every exchange is started by Dex and carries the token you pasted in Settings  Dex
SEO.

 * Dex sends your site: the articles to publish, update or remove (title, content,
   excerpt, featured image, category, tags, SEO title, description and focus keyword),
   and new categories.
 * Your site answers Dex with: whether the plugin is set up (plugin version, SEO
   plugin in use and site address), your categories (name, slug, number of posts)
   and your posts (title, address, status, date, excerpt and content), so new articles
   link to and reuse what you already have.
 * The plugin downloads the images of the articles Dex sends, only from Dex’s address(
   app.getdexseo.com), to your media library.

Nothing else is sent: no visitor data and no usage tracking. Dex SEO terms: https://
getdexseo.com/terms — privacy policy: https://getdexseo.com/privacy

## FAQ

### Do I need a Dex SEO account?

Yes. The plugin only receives the articles Dex writes for your site; it does nothing
on its own. You can create an account at https://getdexseo.com.

### Does it work with my SEO plugin?

Yes. It fills the SEO title, meta description and focus keyword in Yoast SEO, Rank
Math, SEOPress, The SEO Framework and All in One SEO. Without an SEO plugin, it 
prints the title, the description and the article’s structured data itself.

### Will Dex change the posts I wrote myself?

Dex may update a post of yours to add links to new articles or improve its headings.
Your post keeps its status, address, date, excerpt, category, tags, featured image
and SEO fields, and the plugin never deletes a post or category Dex didn’t create.

### What does the plugin send out of my site?

It answers Dex’s requests, authenticated by your token: whether the plugin is set
up, and the list of your categories and posts (so new articles can link to them).
It makes no other calls besides downloading the images of the articles Dex sends,
and only from Dex’s address.

### My security plugin blocks the REST API. Will it still work?

Yes. The plugin receives Dex’s requests on its own address (your site with ?dex-
seo=webhook), not through the REST API.
