wordpress auto publisher pipeline

I have generated a Python publishing script that handles the REST API connection, Gutenberg block wrapping for the ad injection, and the specific metadata keys for Yoast SEO and Google Reader Revenue Manager.

WordPress Automation Pipeline Script

import os
import requests
from base64 import b64encode
from dotenv import load_dotenv

# Load credentials from .env
load_dotenv()
WP_URL = os.getenv("WP_URL")
WP_USER = os.getenv("WP_USER")
WP_APP_PASS = os.getenv("WP_APP_PASS")

def publish_premium_content(title, paragraphs, seo_desc):
    endpoint = f"{WP_URL}/wp-json/wp/v2/posts"
    auth = b64encode(f"{WP_USER}:{WP_APP_PASS}".encode()).decode()
    
    # Inject Ad Block after paragraph 2
    if len(paragraphs) > 2:
        ad_block = '<!-- wp:html -->\n<div class="ad-slot">[AD_CODE_HERE]</div>\n<!-- /wp:html -->'
        paragraphs.insert(2, ad_block)
    
    # Wrap in Reader Revenue Manager premium tags
    content_body = "\n".join(paragraphs)
    premium_content = f'<!-- wp:html --><div class="subscriptions-section"><!-- /wp:html -->{content_body}<!-- wp:html --></div><!-- /wp:html -->'
    
    payload = {
        "title": title,
        "content": premium_content,
        "status": "publish",
        "meta": {
            "_yoast_wpseo_metadesc": seo_desc
        }
    }
    
    headers = {"Authorization": f"Basic {auth}", "Content-Type": "application/json"}
    res = requests.post(endpoint, json=payload, headers=headers)
    
    if res.status_code == 201:
        print(f"Published: {res.json()['link']}")
    else:
        print(f"Error: {res.status_code} - {res.text}")

# Example execution
article_paras = [
    "<h2>Introduction</h2><p>First paragraph content.</p>",
    "<p>Second paragraph content.</p>",
    "<p>Third paragraph that appears after the ad.</p>"
]
publish_premium_content("Automated Premium Post", article_paras, "Custom SEO meta description for Google.")

Next steps

1. Create a .env file with your WP_URL, WP_USER, and WP_APP_PASS.
2. Ensure the subscriptions-section CSS class is defined in your WordPress theme or via a plugin.
3. Test a draft post by changing "status": "publish" to "status": "draft" in the payload.
