[wp-hackers] XML-RPC and Pages

[Eric Mann]

Just to get you started, the calls to add or edit pages are:


   - metaWeblog.newPost
   - metaWeblog.editPost


You just specify 'post_type=page' to create a page rather than a post.
 WordPress stores both content types the same way in the database.  There's
deeper detail regarding the parameters you need to send in the code itself
(see /wp-includes/class-wp-xmlrpc-server.php).  You can also view the
documentation I've been building on my blog for the XMLRPC API ... the
MetaWeblog calls are documented here:
http://mindsharestrategy.com/wp-xmlrpc-metaweblog/.

Just for the sake of completeness, there are a couple of additional RPC
calls in the wp namespace for dealing with pages:

   - wp.newPage
   - wp.editPage

These calls are just wrappers for the metaWeblog calls I referenced above.
 They assume you're working with pages, set the appropriate variables for
you, then pass everything off to their metaWeblog equivalents.  If you're
building publicly-available code, I'd recommend using the wp versions
because it will be explicitly obvious what your code is trying to do.  If
you're doing things just for yourself, it doesn't really make a difference.
