WordPress uses an XML-RPC interface. WordPress currently support the Blogger API, metaWeblog API, Movable Type API, and the Pingback API.

WordPress also implements additional WordPress-specific functionality in an API called the WordPress API. If possible, your client should use the API variants beginning with the wp prefix.

With WordPress XML-RPC support, you can post to your WordPress blog using many popular Weblog Clients.

The XML-RPC system can be extended by WordPress Plugins to modify its behavior.

Enabling XML-RPC

XML-RPC functionality is turned off by default in WordPress.

To enable, go to Settings > Writing > Remote Publishing and check the checkbox.

Endpoint

The XML-RPC server/path are as described here:

• If your WordPress root is http://example.com/wordpress/, then you have:
  • Server: http://example.com/ (some tools need just the 'example.com' hostname part)
  • Path: /wordpress/xmlrpc.php
  • complete URL (just in case): http://example.com/wordpress/xmlrpc.php
