XMLRPC 'client' error

[SamLearnsPython]

I'm trying to create a wordpress post through XMLRPC but getting this error

(env) sam@sam-H81M-S ~ $ python3 Python 3.5.2 (default, Nov 23 2017, 16:37:01) [GCC 5.4.0 20160609] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from wordpress_xmlrpc import Client, WordPressPost >>> from wordpress_xmlrpc.methods.taxonomies import * >>> from wordpress_xmlrpc.methods.posts import * >>> from wordpress_xmlrpc.methods.users import * >>> from wordpress_xmlrpc.methods import * >>> wp_url = '``http://localhost/wordpress``' >>> wp_username = 'admin' >>> wp_password = ' ######## ' >>> post = WordPressPost() >>> post.title = 'My Post' >>> post.content = 'This is content' >>> post.id = client.call(posts.NewPost(post))

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> NameError: name 'client' is not defined

When I use Client I get this error instead

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> TypeError: call() missing 1 required positional argument: 'method'

I think you have to create a Client object and then use the call() method.

wp_url = '``http://localhost/wordpress``' wp_username = 'admin' wp_password = ' ######## ' wp = Client(wp_url, wp_username, wp_password) post = WordPressPost() post.title = 'My Post' post.content = 'This is content' post.id = 1 wp.call(WordPressPost(post))

Getting this error

Error:
wp = Client(wp_url, wp_username, wp_password) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/home/sam/env/lib/python3.5/site-packages/wordpress_xmlrpc/base.py", line 23, in __init__ self.server = xmlrpc_client.ServerProxy(url, allow_none=True, transport=transport) File "/usr/lib/python3.5/xmlrpc/client.py", line 1398, in __init__ raise OSError("unsupported XML-RPC protocol") OSError: unsupported XML-RPC protocol

Error:
raise OSError("unsupported XML-RPC protocol")

I think this error occurs because of the XML-RPC is not running on target machine.

But it's telling me its already installed?

sam@sam-H81M-S ~ $ python3 -m venv env sam@sam-H81M-S ~ $ source ./env/bin/activate (env) sam@sam-H81M-S ~ $ pip install python-wordpress-xmlrpc Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): python-wordpress-xmlrpc in ./env/lib/python3.5/site-packages You are using pip version 8.1.1, however version 10.0.1 is available. You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command. (env) sam@sam-H81M-S ~ $

Have you started the XML-RPC server on your server (localhost)? Plugin xml-rpc-modernization

From Overview

Create an instance of the Client class with the URL of the WordPress XML-RPC endpoint and user credentials. Then pass an XmlrpcMethod object into its call method to execute the remote call and return the result.

---

You'll have to address wp_url to something like http://localhost:port/xmlrpc.php.

[SamLearnsPython]

Both the XMLRPC documentation page and Wordpress documentation page state

XML-RPC functionality is turned on by default since WordPress 3.5. In previous versions of WordPress, XML-RPC was user enabled

This is the output for localhost:port/wordpress/xmlrpc.php

XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only.

[gontajones]

That's good.
Have you tried with this URL?

wp_url = "http://localhost:PORT_NUM/wordpress/xmlrpc.php" wp_username = 'admin' wp_password = ' ######## ' wp = Client(wp_url, wp_username, wp_password) post = WordPressPost() post.title = 'My Post' post.content = 'This is content' post.id = 1 wp.call(WordPressPost(post))

You need to put your port number in the URL.
How did you install the wordpress on your machine?

Test with the HTTP standard port:

>>> wp_url = "http://localhost:80/wordpress/xmlrpc.php"

Or

>>> wp_url = "http://localhost/wordpress/xmlrpc.php"
