Interface to Wordpress blogs

Description

This is a package that provides a programmatic interface to access Wordpress blogs using XMLRPC.

Details

Package:	RWordPress
Version:	0.1-0
License:	BSD
Imports:	XMLRPC
Built:	R 2.11.0; ; 2010-03-13 23:08:36 UTC; unix

Most of the functions in the package are direct R implementations of the corresponding methods described in the Wordpress API. This is described in http://codex.wordpress.org/XML-RPC_wp and http://www.movabletype.org/documentation/developer/api/ There are essentially 4 overlapping APIs, i.e. that have similar facilities in common with perhaps slightly different parameters. We are not documenting how to use these functions explicitly in this package. You are encouraged to read the documentation for each method on the pages above.

All the functions require a login and password. This is specified as a named character vector with one element. The value is the password and the name is the login. So we specify this as c(duncan = "mypassword"). Rather than specifying this in each call, we can set the value of the R option WordpressLogin to this vector. By defalt, the functions look there for the login and password.

For the functions that require a blog identifier, we can usually give the value 0 to indicate the default blog. Alternatively, you can get the blog identifier by calling getUsersBlogs. The identifier is in the element blogid.

The following are a list of the R functions, the corresponding XMLRPC method and a link to the API reference to that function (where the documentation exists). You should consult that documentation for the number and types of the parameters expected and the return type.
