## Description

Ranktim Article Sync connects your WordPress site to Ranktim — an AI-powered content
platform that generates and schedules SEO-optimized articles.

The plugin automatically syncs articles from your Ranktim account and publishes 
or saves them as posts in WordPress.
 Regular syncs check today’s queue, with a 
daily catch-up window so articles missed on previous days can still be imported 
automatically.

Supports:
 – HTML-ready content (converted from Markdown) – Featured images (auto
sideload) – SEO meta (Yoast SEO & Rank Math) – JSON-LD Article/BlogPosting schema–
Custom slugs and metadata – Duplicate prevention

### Key Features

 * Optimized WP-Cron sync every six hours, with daily backlog catch-up
 * Manual “Sync Now” trigger
 * Draft or Publish mode
 * Recent content queue visibility
 * Secure Integration Key (encrypted storage)
 * Direct link to Ranktim Products for manually uploading WooCommerce product exports

### How It Works

 1. Create an integration in your Ranktim dashboard
 2. Copy your Integration Key
 3. Install and activate the plugin
 4. Paste the key in **Admin  Ranktim**
 5. Choose publish mode (Draft or Publish)

Articles will sync automatically.

To upload products exported from WooCommerce, open **Admin  Ranktim  Products**.
The plugin only opens the secure Ranktim Products page; you choose and upload the
export file yourself.

### Requirements

 * Active Ranktim subscription
 * WordPress 5.8+
 * PHP 8.0+

### External services

This plugin connects to the Ranktim API (ranktim.com) to retrieve the AI-generated
SEO
 articles you created in your Ranktim account and import them into WordPress.
The service is operated by Ranktim, the author of this plugin. A Ranktim account
is required; the plugin is a client for that service and has no content-generation
ability of its own.

When and what is sent:

 * Every scheduled sync (every six hours by default), on the daily catch-up run,
   and when
    you click “Sync Now”, the plugin sends your Integration Key (as an 
   HTTP Authorization header) and the date being requested to `https://ranktim.com/
   api/integrations/content`.
 * To download an article it sends your Integration Key and the article ID to
    https://
   ranktim.com/api/integrations/articles/{id}.
 * After a post has been created it sends your Integration Key and the article ID
   to
    https://ranktim.com/api/integrations/ack/{id} so the same article is not 
   delivered twice.
 * Featured images referenced by an article are downloaded from the URL supplied
   in the
    article payload and stored in your WordPress media library.

No site content, visitor data, or personal data is sent to Ranktim by this plugin.
The
 Integration Key is stored encrypted in the WordPress options table.

The “Products” link in the plugin menu only opens `https://ranktim.com/shopping/
products`
 in a new browser tab. The plugin does not read or upload your WooCommerce
data; you choose and upload any export file yourself on that page.
