## Using | ||
|
||
RESTful WP-CLI makes [WP REST API](http://v2.wp-api.org/) endpoints available as [WP-CLI](http://wp-cli.org/) commands. | ||
|
||
As WordPress becomes more of an application framework embedded into the web, RESTful WP-CLI enables WP-CLI users to interact with a given WordPress install through the higher-level, self-expressed abstraction of how WordPress understands itself. For instance, on an eCommerce website, instead of having to know data is stored as `wp post list --post_type=edd_product`, RESTful WP-CLI exposes the properly-modeled data at `wp rest product list`. | ||
|
||
Here's an overview of how RESTful WP-CLI works, in two parts. | ||
|
||
### 1. Auto-discovers WP REST API endpoints from any WordPress site running WordPress 4.4 or higher | ||
|
||
Target a specific WordPress install with `--path=<path>`, `--ssh=<host>`, or `--http=<domain>`: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
# The `--path=<path>` global parameter tells WP-CLI to interact with a WordPress install at a given path. | ||
# Because this is a stock WordPress install, you see the posts, pages, and other resources you'd expect to see. | ||
$ wp --path=/srv/www/wordpress-develop.dev/src rest | ||
usage: wp rest attachment <command> | ||
or: wp rest category <command> | ||
or: wp rest comment <command> | ||
or: wp rest page <command> | ||
or: wp rest page-revision <command> | ||
or: wp rest post <command> | ||
or: wp rest post-revision <command> | ||
or: wp rest status <command> | ||
or: wp rest tag <command> | ||
or: wp rest taxonomy <command> | ||
or: wp rest type <command> | ||
or: wp rest user <command> | ||
# The `--http=<domain>` global parameter tells WP-CLI to auto-discover endpoints over HTTP. | ||
# Because Wired has some custom post types, they're automatically registered as WP-CLI commands. | ||
$ wp --http=www.wired.com rest | ||
usage: wp rest attachment <command> | ||
or: wp rest category <command> | ||
or: wp rest comment <command> | ||
or: wp rest liveblog <command> | ||
or: wp rest liveblog-revision <command> | ||
or: wp rest page <command> | ||
or: wp rest page-revision <command> | ||
or: wp rest podcast <command> | ||
or: wp rest post <command> | ||
or: wp rest post-revision <command> | ||
or: wp rest series <command> | ||
or: wp rest slack-channel <command> | ||
or: wp rest status <command> | ||
or: wp rest tag <command> | ||
or: wp rest taxonomy <command> | ||
or: wp rest type <command> | ||
or: wp rest user <command> | ||
or: wp rest video <command> | ||
# The `--ssh=<host>` global parameter proxies command execution to a remote WordPress install. | ||
# Because runcommand has a completely custom data model, you can only interact with commands, excerpts, and sparks. | ||
$ wp --ssh=runcommand.io rest | ||
usage: wp rest command <command> | ||
or: wp rest excerpt <command> | ||
or: wp rest spark <command> | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### 2. Registers WP-CLI commands for the resource endpoints it understands, in the `wp rest` namespace. | ||
|
||
In addition to the standard list, get, create, update and delete commands, RESTful WP-CLI also registers commands for higher-level operations like `edit`, `generate` and `diff`. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
# In this example, `@wpdev` is a WP-CLI alias to `--path=/srv/www/wordpress-develop.dev/src`. | ||
$ wp @wpdev rest user | ||
usage: wp rest user create --username=<username> [--name=<name>] [--first_name=<first_name>] [--last_name=<last_name>] --email=<email> [--url=<url>] [--description=<description>] [--nickname=<nickname>] [--slug=<slug>] [--roles=<roles>] --password=<password> [--capabilities=<capabilities>] [--porcelain] | ||
or: wp rest user delete <id> [--force=<force>] [--reassign=<reassign>] [--porcelain] | ||
or: wp rest user diff <alias> [<resource>] [--fields=<fields>] | ||
or: wp rest user edit <id> | ||
or: wp rest user generate [--count=<count>] [--format=<format>] --username=<username> [--name=<name>] [--first_name=<first_name>] [--last_name=<last_name>] --email=<email> [--url=<url>] [--description=<description>] [--nickname=<nickname>] [--slug=<slug>] [--roles=<roles>] --password=<password> [--capabilities=<capabilities>] [--porcelain] | ||
or: wp rest user get <id> [--context=<context>] [--fields=<fields>] [--field=<field>] [--format=<format>] | ||
or: wp rest user list [--context=<context>] [--page=<page>] [--per_page=<per_page>] [--search=<search>] [--exclude=<exclude>] [--include=<include>] [--offset=<offset>] [--order=<order>] [--orderby=<orderby>] [--slug=<slug>] [--roles=<roles>] [--fields=<fields>] [--field=<field>] [--format=<format>] | ||
or: wp rest user update <id> [--username=<username>] [--name=<name>] [--first_name=<first_name>] [--last_name=<last_name>] [--email=<email>] [--url=<url>] [--description=<description>] [--nickname=<nickname>] [--slug=<slug>] [--roles=<roles>] [--password=<password>] [--capabilities=<capabilities>] [--porcelain] | ||
# Use `wp rest * edit` to open an existing item in the editor. | ||
$ wp rest category edit 1 --user=daniel | ||
--- | ||
description: | ||
name: Uncategorized | ||
slug: uncategorized | ||
parent: 0 | ||
# Use `wp rest * generate` to generate dummy content. | ||
$ wp @wpdev rest post generate --count=50 --title="Test Post" --user=daniel | ||
Generating items 100% [==============================================] 0:01 / 0:02 | ||
# Use `wp rest * diff` to diff a resource or collection of resources between environments. | ||
$ wp @dev-rest rest command diff @prod-rest find-unused-themes --fields=title | ||
(-) http://runcommand.dev/api/ (+) https://runcommand.io/api/ | ||
command: | ||
+ title: find-unused-themes | ||
``` | ||
|
||
If WP-CLI is operating directly against a WordPress install, you can use the `--debug` flag to track the number of queries and total execution time. This can be useful for measuring and profiling API requests. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
$ wp rest category list --debug | ||
Debug (rest): REST command executed 3 queries in 0.000311 seconds. Use --debug=rest to see all queries. (1.118s) | ||

||
## Overview | ||
## Installing | ||
|
||
wp-rest-cli makes [WP REST API](http://v2.wp-api.org/) endpoints available as [WP-CLI](http://wp-cli.org/) commands. It does so by: | ||
Installing this package requires WP-CLI 0.24.0-alpha or greater. Update to the latest nightly release with `wp cli update --nightly`. | ||
|
||
* Auto-discovering WP REST API endpoints from any WordPress site running WordPress 4.4 or higher. | ||
* Registering WP-CLI commands for the endpoints it understands. | ||
Once you've done so, you can install this package with `wp package install wp-cli/restful`. | ||
|
||
For example: | ||
## Contributing | ||
|
||
$ wp rest | ||
usage: wp rest attachment <command> | ||
or: wp rest category <command> | ||
or: wp rest comment <command> | ||
or: wp rest meta <command> | ||
or: wp rest page <command> | ||
or: wp rest pages-revision <command> | ||
or: wp rest post <command> | ||
or: wp rest posts-revision <command> | ||
or: wp rest status <command> | ||
or: wp rest tag <command> | ||
or: wp rest taxonomy <command> | ||
or: wp rest type <command> | ||
or: wp rest user <command> | ||
We appreciate you taking the initiative to contribute to this project. | ||
|
||
$ wp --http=demo.wp-api.org rest tag get 65 --format=json | ||
{ | ||
"id": 65, | ||
"link": "http://demo.wp-api.org/tag/dolor-in-sunt-placeat-molestiae-ipsam/", | ||
"name": "Dolor in sunt placeat molestiae ipsam", | ||
"slug": "dolor-in-sunt-placeat-molestiae-ipsam", | ||
"taxonomy": "post_tag" | ||
} | ||
Contributing isn’t limited to just code. We encourage you to contribute in the way that best fits your abilities, by writing tutorials, giving a demo at your local meetup, helping other users with their support questions, or revising our documentation. | ||
|
||
Notice how you can use `--http=<domain>` to interact with a remote WordPress site. `--http=<domain>` must be supplied as the second argument to be used. Without it, wp-rest-cli will look for endpoints of a WordPress site in a directory specified by `--path=<path>` (or the current directory, if `--path=<path` isn't supplied). | ||
### Reporting a bug | ||
|
||
There are many things wp-rest-cli can't yet do. Please [review the issue backlog](https://github.com/wp-cli/restful/issues), and open a new issue if you can't find an exising issue for your topic. | ||
Think you’ve found a bug? We’d love for you to help us get it fixed. | ||
|
||
## Installing | ||
Before you create a new issue, you should [search existing issues](https://github.com/wp-cli/restful/issues?q=label%3Abug%20) to see if there’s an existing resolution to it, or if it’s already been fixed in a newer version. | ||
|
||
wp-rest-cli requires the latest nightly version of WP-CLI. Update with `wp cli update --nightly`. | ||
Once you’ve done a bit of searching and discovered there isn’t an open or fixed issue for your bug, please [create a new issue](https://github.com/wp-cli/restful/issues/new) with the following: | ||
|
||
Once you've done so, you can install wp-rest-cli with `wp package install wp-cli/restful`. | ||
1. What you were doing (e.g. "When I run `wp post list`"). | ||
2. What you saw (e.g. "I see a fatal about a class being undefined."). | ||
3. What you expected to see (e.g. "I expected to see the list of posts.") | ||
|
||
wp-rest-cli also requires the [latest WP REST API beta](https://wordpress.org/plugins/rest-api/) installed and activated on whichever WordPress you'd like to interact with. Older betas are unsupported — please keep up to date. | ||
Include as much detail as you can, and clear steps to reproduce if possible. | ||
|
