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.

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Access the WordPress.com REST API with managed OAuth authentication. Create and manage posts, pages, and site content on WordPress.com hosted sites.
# 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
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}.
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"
Sign in or create an account at maton.ai Go to maton.ai/settings Copy your API key
Manage your WordPress.com OAuth connections at https://ctrl.maton.ai.

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.

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
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`);
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")
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']}")
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
