How do you log in on a WordPress website with API?

[DanBadea]

Well... For me, the chapter with the layout is closed (for the moment) because I must start to work on functionality. The first step is to log in on a WordPress website.

As WordPress is a very popular platform, I expected to find a lot of information about log in with API key, REST API, and so on... I was wrong (or blind). Almost nothing.

Can anybody recommend me to where I can start? The goal is to log in, after login, to search in a database, to download a .txt file, and to upload a .txt file.

For the moment that's all. In the future... will be more things. The most important aspect is the security. Not from the start of course, but at the final of my app.

The gentleman's with PH.D in that subject that I read on the community and on his personal pages are Tim, ABG, Taifun, Kevin, and Patrick, if I correctly remember.

So... from where can I start?!

Thank you in advance gentleman's or ladies (as I don't know who is behind the usernames)

Website to App using deep linking

Hi There! I am trying to create an app, that is basically my website. (WebView) But wait a minute, my query is different from everyone here. I have a Wordpress website. That means integration is needed in the app. I want all the links in mobile (where the app is installed) like * = Wildcard https://.MYSITE.URL/ To be opened in my app only. That means it must show a dialog box to choose a prefered app and that thing. I want a additional menu like a left side bar. I want my default menu …

Thank you, Steve, I already read those, and now I want to understand and choose (anyway, I will re-read), if possible from the start the best method/technique that best approaches the best security vs what I need.

The options are:

1. A plugin already exists for WordPress, and if that, which?
2. Write a custom plugin for WordPress, and if that, how?
3. Is no plugin needed?

I understand that I must start with reading, I already did it, and I will do it again. I ask for your experience to give me a more precise direction.

Thank you all, again.

1. Search Extensions - you will find one
2. See 3, or learn how to write extensions for AppInventor (search the community)
3. Should have been question 1, but probably not, you can use the web component, or a webviewer (maybe with extensions)

Thank you, Tim, but I ask for...

@DanBadea

I ask for your experience to give me a more precise direction.

You were genial on the layout approach with CompCreator sugestion. Can you suggest something like this but when we speak about WordPress connection?

What you recommend me above, I already do.

Never I will be able to write extensions for App Inventor, I'm sorry about that but in this life are things that are possible and things that are not. In this community exist many genial brains for that. I'm not genial, I'm a noob.

Can I replicate this as it is in native AI2 TextBox in a dynamically generated TextBox?!

or with DynamicComponents

If yes, how?

Thank you.

PS - From my test, it seems that is not possible.
