About this tool

OrganicStack Publisher provides a comprehensive REST API for automated WordPress content publishing. It enables external applications (including OrganicStack) to publish posts, manage media, handle categories and tags, create authors, and manage content programmatically through a secure API key authentication system. Key Features REST API Endpoints – Complete set of REST API endpoints for WordPress content management API Key Authentication – Secure API key-based authentication instead of WordPress application passwords Post Publishing – Publish single posts or bulk publish multiple posts at once Media Management – Upload images via base64 or URL with automatic optimization Category & Tag Management – Get, create, and manage categories and tags Author Management – Create authors and manage author profiles with custom avatars SEO Support – Built-in support for Yoast SEO and RankMath meta fields Custom Meta Fields – Support for custom post meta fields CORS Support – Built-in CORS handling for cross-origin requests Site Information – Get detailed site information including WordPress version, PHP version, and more Security Features API key authentication with secure key generation Input sanitization and validation on all endpoints Proper permission checks for all operations Secure file upload handling Data Integrity (Multi-Tenant) – CRITICAL Author avatars are time-consuming to create. They MUST NEVER be removed by a plugin update. This plugin ONLY manages OrganicStack avatars (organicstack_avatar_id, organicstack_created). We NEVER delete, remove, or modify any author/avatar data from WordPress or other plugins. Gravatar, Simple Local Avatars, User Avatar, and all other avatar systems are UNTOUCHED. See AVATAR_POLICY.md – violating this causes hundreds of lost avatars and customer complaints.
