Remotely Create pages via API

[Peter Knight]

Hi I’m trying to find an up to date tutorial on enabling remote page creation via API?

I’m building a localhost tool / project and want to use that to create new pages in a target site. 

I can find lots of API docs but unsure of the first steps on target site. 
 

Thanks

I use the following to create pages via API. I don't know how you have your setup, but you can add the code to a front end template in the content section so you can see the results printed.

	
/*
page:  status  
9    - published  (default)
13   - locked / not editable
1033 - hidden
2057 - unpublished
3081 - hidden / unpublished

template_id,parent_id,page_status,page_name,page_title,install_description
*/
$_SESSION['install_log'] =array();
$newp = array( 
	'1,1,9,account2,Account2,User account',
    '1,1,9,profile2,Profile2,User profile',
    '1,1,9,register2,Register2,New registration',
    '1,1,9,tos2,Terms of Service2,Terms of Service',
    '1,1,9,search2,Search2,Forum search',
    '1,1,9,banned2,Banned2,Banned user landing page',
    '1,1,9,help2,Help2,Forum help'
);

foreach($newp as $r){	
	$q =explode(',',$r);
	$p = new Page();
	$p->template = trim($q[0]);
	$p->parent = trim($q[1]);
	$p->status =trim($q[2]);
	$p->name = trim($q[3]);
	$p->title = trim($q[4]);
    	
	if($p->save()){
		$_SESSION['install_log']['document_create'][$p->title]['id'] = $p->id;
		$status ='success';
    }else{
		$status ='failure';
	}
	
	$_SESSION['install_log']['document_create'][$p->title]['status'] =$status;
	$_SESSION['install_log']['document_create'][$p->title]['description'] =$q[5];
}	
	

function print_array( $data ){
    $text =print_r( $data, TRUE ); 
    return '<pre style="font-size:15px; line-height:16px;">'.$text.'</pre>';	
}
echo print_array($_SESSION['install_log']);

I'm sorry I think I was sleep deprived and misunderstood when I read your post, so maybe this is what you were looking for:

Sorry and hope this helps 🙂
