Wordpress : Call wp_create_user function from external? - wordpress

Question

In Wordpress, i want to create New Users from external. I've found this is function in wordpress:
wp_create_user( $username, $password, $email );
So how can i run this function from external call please?
I mean, how to run this function from either:
Via simple URL with GET, like: www.example.com/adduser/?username=james&password=simpletext&email=myemail
Via cURL with POST
.. from external website.

You may try this but also make sure that the listening url has a handler to handle the request in your WordPress end (using GET methof)
function curlAdduser($strUrl)
{
if( empty($strUrl) )
{
return 'Error: invalid Url given';
}
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $strUrl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 30);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'GET');
$return = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $return;
}
Call the function from external site :
curlAdduser("www.example.com/adduser?username=james&password=simpletext&email=myemail");
Update : using POST method
function curlAdduser($strUrl, $data) {
$fields = '';
foreach($data as $key => $value) {
$fields .= $key . '=' . $value . '&';
}
$fields = rtrim($fields, '&');
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $strUrl);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 30);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $fields);
$return = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
return $return;
}
Call the function with data
$data = array(
"username" => "james",
"password" => "simpletext",
"email" => "myemail"
);
curlAdduser("www.example.com/adduser", $data);
