Article Bridge allows secure importing of posts and media into WordPress via a custom REST API using token-based authentication.

Description

Article Bridge is a developer-oriented plugin designed for automated content importing into WordPress websites.

It provides a custom REST API that allows external systems to create posts, upload media files, assign categories and tags, and set featured images using a secure token-based authentication mechanism.

The plugin is especially useful for:

  • Content migration from external systems
  • Automated publishing pipelines
  • Headless or hybrid CMS setups
  • Scheduled or bulk article imports

All operations are performed using WordPress core functions and follow WordPress coding and security standards.

Key Features

  • Secure REST API with Bearer token authentication
  • Create posts programmatically
  • Upload media files and attach them to posts
  • Assign categories and tags
  • Set featured images
  • Automatic system user handling
  • No external services or tracking
  • No ads, no upsells, no paid features

Installation

  1. Upload the article-bridge folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” menu in WordPress.
  3. Go to Settings → Article Bridge.
  4. Generate a new access token and save it securely.
  5. Use the REST API endpoints to import content.

Usage

After activation, the plugin registers the following REST API endpoints:

POST /wp-json/article-bridge/v1/post POST /wp-json/article-bridge/v1/media POST /wp-json/article-bridge/v1/category POST /wp-json/article-bridge/v1/tag POST /wp-json/article-bridge/v1/set-thumbnail

All requests must include the HTTP header:

Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN

Authentication

Article Bridge uses token-based authentication.

  • Tokens are generated manually by site administrators.
  • Only a hashed version of the token is stored in the database.
  • Tokens are never exposed after generation.
  • No WordPress user credentials are required for API access.
