WordPress.com API integration with managed OAuth. Manage posts, pages, sites, and content.

Use this skill when users want to create, read, update, or delete WordPress.com posts, pages, or manage site content.

For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway).

Requires network access and valid Maton API key.

# WordPress.com

Access the WordPress.com REST API with managed OAuth authentication. Create and manage posts, pages, and site content on WordPress.com hosted sites.

Quick Start

# List posts from a site
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/wordpress/rest/v1.1/sites/{site_id}/posts?number=10')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Base URL

https://gateway.maton.ai/wordpress/rest/v1.1/{endpoint}

The gateway proxies requests to `public-api.wordpress.com` and automatically injects your OAuth token.

**Note:** WordPress.com uses the REST v1.1 API. Site-specific endpoints use the pattern `/sites/{site_id_or_domain}/{resource}`.

Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY

**Environment Variable:** Set your API key as `MATON_API_KEY`:

export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"

Getting Your API Key

1. Sign in or create an account at [maton.ai](https://maton.ai)

2. Go to [maton.ai/settings](https://maton.ai/settings)

3. Copy your API key

Connection Management

Manage your WordPress.com OAuth connections at `https://ctrl.maton.ai`.

List Connections

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=wordpress&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Create Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'wordpress'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Get Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

**Response:**

{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "fb327990-1a43-4325-9c15-bad771b6a288",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2026-02-10T07:46:26.908898Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-02-10T07:49:33.440422Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "wordpress",
    "metadata": {}
  }
}

Open the returned `url` in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.

Delete Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Specifying Connection

If you have multiple WordPress.com connections, specify which one to use with the `Maton-Connection` header:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/wordpress/rest/v1.1/sites/{site_id}/posts')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', 'fb327990-1a43-4325-9c15-bad771b6a288')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

Pagination

WordPress.com uses cursor-based pagination with `page_handle`:

import os
import requests

headers = {
    'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'
}

# Initial request
response = requests.get(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/wordpress/rest/v1.1/sites/{site}/posts',
    headers=headers,
    params={'number': 20}
)
result = response.json()
all_posts = result['posts']

# Continue with page_handle
while result.get('meta', {}).get('next_page'):
    response = requests.get(
        'https://gateway.maton.ai/wordpress/rest/v1.1/sites/{site}/posts',
        headers=headers,
        params={'number': 20, 'page_handle': result['meta']['next_page']}
    )
    result = response.json()
    all_posts.extend(result['posts'])

print(f"Total posts: {len(all_posts)}")

Alternatively, use `offset` for simple pagination:

GET /wordpress/rest/v1.1/sites/{site}/posts?number=20&offset=20

Code Examples

JavaScript

const response = await fetch(
  'https://gateway.maton.ai/wordpress/rest/v1.1/sites/{site}/posts?number=10',
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
    }
  }
);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(`Found ${data.found} posts`);

Python

import os
import requests

response = requests.get(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/wordpress/rest/v1.1/sites/{site}/posts',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'},
    params={'number': 10, 'status': 'publish'}
)
data = response.json()
print(f"Found {data['found']} posts")

Python (Create Post)

import os
import requests

response = requests.post(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/wordpress/rest/v1.1/sites/{site}/posts/new',
    headers={
        'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    json={
        'title': 'My New Post',
        'content': '<p>Hello World!</p>',
        'status': 'draft',
        'categories': 'news',
        'tags': 'hello, first-post'
    }
)
post = response.json()
print(f"Created post ID: {post['ID']}")

Notes

WordPress.com API uses REST v1.1 (not v2)

Site identifiers can be numeric IDs or domain names

POST requests to `/posts/{id}` update the post (not PUT/PATCH)

DELETE uses POST to `/posts/{id}/delete` (not HTTP DELETE)

Categories and tags are created automatically when referenced in posts

Date/time values are in ISO 8601 format

All content is HTML-formatted

IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to `jq` or other commands, environment variables like `$MATON_API_KEY` may not expand correctly in some shell environments

Error Handling

| Status | Meaning |

|--------|---------|

| 400 | Missing WordPress connection or bad request |

| 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key |

| 403 | Insufficient permissions or OAuth scope |

| 404 | Site or resource not found |

| 429 | Rate limited |

| 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from WordPress.com API |

Error responses include details:

{
  "error": "unauthorized",
  "message": "User cannot view users for specified site"
}

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

1. Check that the `MATON_API_KEY` environment variable is set:

echo $MATON_API_KEY

2. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name

1. Ensure your URL path starts with `wordpress`. For example:

Correct: `https://gateway.maton.ai/wordpress/rest/v1.1/sites/{site_id}/posts`

Incorrect: `https://gateway.maton.ai/rest/v1.1/sites/{site_id}/posts`
