Is there an API?

QuestionDone46
Just what the title says. Is there an API? I would like the ability to publish directly from my Wordpress blog to my Inkwell profile, but I think that can only happen with an API token. Posting from the fediverse, like I'm doing now, does make it to the Inkwell platform's feed now, but it doesn't publish it to my actual Inkwell profile page. I think that might be because the Inkwell fediverse profile is separate from the Activitypub fediverse profile, even though they're linked on my Inkwell account. They also have two different fediverse addresses: @eve@evecodes.com and eve@evecodes.com.fediverse.inkwell.social. I don't think this is an error, and I believe this is by design because the same thing happens on Mastodon, Pixelfed and all the other federated platforms. Unless there is some way you can get the @eve@evecodes.com to publish to the Inkwell profile, but I think that may be a limitation of the Activitypub protocol because I don't see any other platform doing that either, so an API would be needed in that case, which I believe Activitypub calls that design of posting, as "FOSS".

Public API is live! Create API keys at Settings → API, and see the full documentation at /developers. Free users get read access; Plus users get read+write.

@eve I believe I got APIs set up. Can you test and let me know if it works for you?

Oh wow that was quick lol. Awesome. Leme check. Might take me a while because it was an experimental Wordpress plugin I was building so I don't know entirely if it will even work since I was only able to get as far as it asking for the API key before I had to stop. I'll let you know. Thanks again.

Confirmed it's working. Thank you so much! You're a beast. So we now have a Wordpress plugin to crosspost.
Getting double-posting when posting as a Social Note and gibberish when contractions are used, but that might be something on my end I can correct. But posts publish to the native Inkwell platform as intended. You can check the test posts out on my profile if you want to see it.

I wanted to polish the plugin up and post it to the Wordpress repository but I won't do it without your permission. Lmk
