In wordpressr: An API Wrapper for WordPress Site APIs

wordpressr

Journalism is in a state of crisis. Profitable outlets are driven by clickbait; unprofitable activities like investigative journalism or local news reporting simply disappear. How can we fix this?

Perhaps automation can help:

1. Help writers be more productive
2. Make marketing and distribution easier
3. Make data-driven journalism easier for all

wordpressr is an attempt to bring more automation, and the ensuing benefits, to journalism and publishing in general. For a more thorough look at how to get started, please see the wordpressr vignette.

Installation

You can install the released version of wordpressr from GitHub with:

Example: Retrieving Posts

Need to perform text analysis on your posts? Or summarise data by author, category, tag, or time? The get_wp_posts() function is a good place to start.

library(wordpressr)
recent_posts = get_wp_posts('https://altmediauncensored.com',300)
