[wp-xmlrpc] XML-RPC and Roles

[Muro, Matthew]

XML-RPC is not for what you want to do.

I would build a new page that outputs however many posts you want using either date ranges, paging, or some other factor to limit the results.

Dear Eric,

Thanks for the tip. I tried the Role Scoper. It seems the user needs to have "edit_published_posts" and "edit_others_posts" permissions to get access to XML-RPC responses. True? I tried it on the original Wordpress Android app. I couldn't fetch the posts with Author role since it has no "edit_others_posts" permission. If it's true, what do you suggest then?

Best,

My recommendation would be to use a plugin like Role Scoper (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/role-scoper/) to create a custom XML-RPC user role.  You can then explicitly grant users the ability to read content but not create content.

Dear all,

We're developing an Android app for a wordpress.org<http://wordpress.org/> blog. Since RSS only lists the most recent posts and we wanted to get access to the older ones we decided to use XML-RPC. Unfortunately I just found that subscriber role has no access to the XML-RPC features.

We need a read-only account to access XML-RPC and we don't want to put admin password in the app. How should we proceed? Any suggestion?

I found this myself:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/xmlrpc-038-getrecentposts-038-user-role

No help though.
