How to make a post to wordpress using the api?

Question

How can I remotely make a post to a user's blog after he/she gives me his login info using the wordpress api? What method do i need to use, what paremeters should it have, etc? Sample code will be great.

I'd prefer to use the XML-RPC api but others will also be acceptable.

Answer 1

yeah you can use metaWeblog.newPost or blogger.newPost, an example of the first:

uses curl and xmlrpc_encode_request

an example of the second:

yeah and @Francis is correct

Answer 2

I personally use the JSON API plugin. Create a post using:

http://www.example.com/api/create_post/?nonce=123456789&title=My%20Post&status=publish
