  Because this scripts carries authentication information in HTTP request headers(BASIC Auth code), so securing with HTTPS is strongly recommended.

IMPORTANT

This script expects that your local articles are written in Markdown.

1. To post your article:

post.py (status_option) yourfilename.md

status_option:

• -p: "published" status
• -d: "draft" status

Status option is NOT mandatory, you can handle "default status" in wp-api.ini file. If you don't designate status option in CLI, scripts obey "default status".

If this is the 1st time you post this article, you'll be asked which category do you correlate with.

Example:

kowloon$ post.py -p "How to use this script.md"

Please select category id.
2 : MarkDown
3 : WordPress
1 : 未分類
>>> 2,3

POST action has succeeded.
id : 119
title : How to use this script
link : https://blog.kowloonet.org/archives/119

After POST process has finished, this script adds management information(assigned post_id, date, publishedURL) to the 1st line of your local article file which is used for next time.

2. To update your articles:

kowloon$ post.py -p "How to use this script.md"

This script always reads the 1st line of your local article file and search "article_id" json code section. If "article_id" has found, this script handles your article as "Update" action.

In the case "Update", the script will not ask you category id again.
