🔌 API Integration

REST API Endpoints

# Get platform status
GET /wp-json/mpcs-hub/v1/platforms

# Sync content
POST /wp-json/mpcs-hub/v1/sync
{
    "post_id": 123,
    "platforms": ["twitter", "facebook"]
}

# Get analytics
GET /wp-json/mpcs-hub/v1/analytics/123

Webhook Support

// Register webhook for platform updates
add_action('mpcs_hub_content_synced', function($post_id, $platform, $result) {
    // Custom webhook logic
});

🧩 Developer Hooks

Actions

// Before content sync
do_action('mpcs_hub_before_sync', $post_id, $platforms);

// After content sync
do_action('mpcs_hub_after_sync', $post_id, $results);

// On sync error
do_action('mpcs_hub_sync_error', $post_id, $platform, $error);

🧪 Testing

Manual Testing

1. Create Test Post: Write a sample blog post
2. Configure Platforms: Set up at least 2-3 platform credentials
3. Test Syndication: Publish and verify content appears on platforms
4. Check Analytics: Verify metrics are being collected

Automated Testing

# Run PHPUnit tests (if implemented)
./vendor/bin/phpunit tests/

# Check code quality
./vendor/bin/phpcs --standard=WordPress .

🚨 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. API Rate Limits:

   • Solution: Enable queue system for delayed processing
   • Check platform-specific rate limits

2. Authentication Errors:

   • Verify API credentials are correct
   • Check token expiration dates
   • Ensure proper OAuth flows

3. Content Formatting Issues:

   • Review character limits per platform
   • Check media file formats and sizes

Debug Mode

// Enable debug logging
define('MPCS_HUB_DEBUG', true);

// View logs
tail -f /wp-content/debug.log | grep "MPCS_HUB"
