Please refer to the following code.
you need to generate the nonce first to create a post.
$.ajax({
// get the nonce
dataType: 'jsonp',
url: '/api/get_nonce/?controller=posts&method=create_post',
type: 'GET',
success: function (data) {
// create the post
$.ajax({
url: '/api/create_post/',
type: 'POST',
dataType: 'jsonp',
data: {nonce: data.nonce, status:'xxxx',title:'xxxx', content:'xxxx'},
success: function (data) {
},
error: function (data) {
console.log('error');
}
});
},
error: function (data) {
console.log('error');
}
});
nonce is the key for creating a post.
Hey, thanks! I’m trying to figure out the same thing.
How would we go about executing this code? I want to pull JSON feed from an external site. So I understand that I would then replace:
“url: ‘/api/get_nonce/?controller=posts&method=create_post’,”
with my external feed with API key? Or where do we place the source url?
And the other part, is with the data:
data: {nonce: data.nonce, status:’xxxx’,title:’xxxx’, content:’xxxx’},
Do we replace the ‘xxxx’ with JSON field names? And is it possible to add custom fields to the string?
Thanks and I know this is a lot but I’m really new to JSON and JQUERY, and I can kind of figure it out but just missing the right people to ask!
I believe you need to be able to be authenticated with permission to create a post. For that, you can use the json api auth. There is some more information here:
