I have Have WP API and OAuth1 plugins installed for my python frontend to access posts in wordpress. With CLI wp oauth add I have generated secret and key also. But am stuck on how to proceed further. I can check api responses via chrome advanced REST client.
I get proper JSON responses from requests like GET http://mylocal.site/wp-json/posts
But I want to add authentication. Read numerous docs from api and oauth...but nowhere a proper work flow. Please shed some light who have worked with these already.
Thanks.
I got this working following the base https://github.com/WP-API/OAuth1

I am trying to make a WordPress site that will use data from SmartSheet. I need to Authenticate(Authorization) to get into SmartSheet. SS uses an API Access token to get access. All of this works fine in postman. My question is: Are there plugins for this? Or should I be writing a plugin for this? Any good resources for this?
There is no official WordPress connector from Smartsheet.
I wonder how can I remove a post from my profile and company using API in my system. What parameter should I spend? Anyone have any idea?
There are no APIs available for removal of a LinkedIn share. It has to be done manually through the web/mobile UI.
I would like to fetch an URL that requires an authentication, like the admin page of Wordpress using Google Apps Script, UrlFetch (anything else is fine if its something in Apps Script.)
There seems to be solution if it is a basic auth though.
Is that possible for Wordpress?
For WordPress, you can install the WP REST API plugin and then use Basic Auth + UrlFetch to get your data into Apps Script. This, I think, is the ideal solution.
If you want it for anyother website, you should mention it in the question. In generak, yes, Basic Auth is the solution.
I am getting:
"Could not locate API; are you sure it's enabled?"
When I try to link client to WordPress via WP REST API.
I have installed & activated all necessary plugins and dependencies, including (WP-REST API, oAuth1 etc).
When I try HEAD http://mywebsitelink, it returns link with wp-json which indicates WP-API is working.
Also, when I try wp oauth1 add, it works fine and generates key and secret.
Any suggestion on how to fix this issue? Thanks in advance.
If you are using the Client CLI package to connect the client with the WP REST API then please be informed that the latest version of the OAuth1.0a plugin doesn't work with the Client CLI package.
However, you can use an HTTP client to generate token credentials and then connect to the server using the OAuth1.0a plugin.
I am trying to get Twitter consumer key for a wordpress website. I understand I have to create an application, but want to be sure this is not going to affect my client's twitter account. I just simply want to get a twitter count for her website so I guess I don't understand why I have to create an application? Can anyone enlighten me? What is the purpose of the application? Thanks.
It is not directly related to WordPress. Creating a Twittter application won't affect your account. You just gotta be careful not to share the secret keys.
Here's a very thorough answer about using the new Twitter 1.1 API
Simplest PHP example for retrieving user_timeline with Twitter API version 1.1
If you check the documentation the Get Users method returns the number of followers:
