Create pages from external API

[Mijo]

Hello all, I'm playing with Wordpress API and I trying to create pages in Processwire from WP API, did anybody do something like that (or any other api)? What is the best approach for creating pages via external API, any advice, examples would be awesome, thank you all

Maybe it is easier (even better?) to instead bootstrap ProcessWire inside your WP and use ProcessWire to create ProcessWire pages.

Got to agree with Kongondo: if that is doable for you, i.e. both sites sit on the same server, bootstrapping ProcessWire is probably your best bet.

Otherwise I'd recommend checking out the REST API site profile and/or ProcessGraphQL. To my best understanding both provide the ability to create content via the API, and both have some sort of authentication mechanism available.

Authentication is basically the main thing here: it's really easy to create a ProcessWire page that takes POST requests and creates pages etc. but you don't want, under any conditions, that to be publicly available without some sort of authentication. This is why I'd recommend checking the existing solutions first, and only rolling out your own solution if it's absolutely your only option

Sorry for late response, thank you all for answers, I'll definitely try what you have suggested. 

Thank you.
