Quickstart

WordPress Requirements

Since WordPress 4.7 the REST API has been integrated into the core so there's no need for any plugins to get basic functionality. If you want to access protected endpoints, this library supports authentication through JSON Web Tokens (JWT) (plugin required).

Including WordPressPCL

The WordPressPCL API Wrapper is avaiable through NuGet:

> Install-Package WordPressPCL

Supported Plattforms

WordPressPCL is built on top of the new .NET Standard targeting netstandard versions 1.1 and 2.0 - therefore it should work on the following plaforms:

.NET Framework 4.5 and newer
.NET Core
Universal Windows Platform (uap)
Windows 8.0 and newer
Windows Phone (WinRT, not Silverlight)
Mono / Xamarin

Quickstart: Using the API Wrapper

// Initialize
var client = new WordPressClient("http://demo.wp-api.org/wp-json/");

// Posts
var posts = await client.Posts.GetAll();
var postbyid = await client.Posts.GetById(id);

// Comments
var comments = await client.Comments.GetAll();
var commentbyid = await client.Comments.GetById(id);
var commentsbypost = await client.Comments.GetCommentsForPost(postid, true, false);

// Users
// JWT authentication
var client = new WordPressClient(ApiCredentials.WordPressUri);
client.AuthMethod = AuthMethod.JWT;
await client.RequestJWToken(ApiCredentials.Username,ApiCredentials.Password);

// check if authentication has been successful
var isValidToken = await client.IsValidJWToken();

// now you can send requests that require authentication
var response = client.Posts.Delete(postid);
