ArticliQ

ArticliQ is a PHP tool designed to automate the process of creating and publishing AI-generated articles and images on WordPress. It uses external APIs to generate unique content and images, then posts them directly to a WordPress blog located in the same directory.

Features

• Generate Articles using Gemini AI API for unique article titles and content.
• Create Illustrations for articles using Cloudflare Workers AI API.
• Retrieve WordPress Author and Category IDs to streamline the posting process.
• Automated Posting of articles and images directly to WordPress, including setting the featured image.

Requirement

• Gemini API Key: you can get the Gemini API Key here: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs
• Cloudflare API token and Account ID to use the REST API. Click here: https://developers.cloudflare.com/workers-ai/get-started/rest-api/
• WordPress Web with the access to your server or web hosting control panel.

Files

1. article.php - Generates article titles and content using Gemini AI API.
2. img.php - Creates an illustration that matches the article title using Workers AI API from Cloudflare.
3. id.php - Retrieves Author and Category IDs from your WordPress blog for assigning authorship and categorization.
4. autopost.php - Posts the generated article and uploads the featured image to WordPress, making use of WordPress functions directly as it resides within the same directory.

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/cedonulfi/articliq.git
   cd articliq

2. Install any necessary PHP libraries, such as cURL:

   sudo apt-get install php-curl

3. Set up your API keys in article.php and img.php.

4. Ensure that autopost.php can access WordPress functions by including WordPress's wp-load.php file.

Usage

Generating an Article

Run article.php to create a unique title and content using Gemini AI API:

php article.php

Generating an Image

Run img.php to create an illustration that matches the article’s theme using Cloudflare Workers AI API:

php img.php

Retrieving Author and Category IDs

Use id.php to find the Author and Category IDs from WordPress, which are required for posting:

php id.php

Posting the Article and Image to WordPress

After generating your content and image, run autopost.php to post them on WordPress with the image as the featured image:

php autopost.php

Note: Because autopost.php is in the same directory as WordPress, it directly loads WordPress functions by including wp-load.php:

require_once('../wp-load.php');

Example Code for autopost.php

Here’s a simplified version of how autopost.php might look if it’s in the same directory as WordPress:

<?php
// Include WordPress core for direct access
require_once('../wp-load.php');

// Prepare article and image data
$title = "Generated Article Title";
$content = "This is the AI-generated content.";
$image_path = "/path/to/generated/image.jpg";

// Create new post
$post_id = wp_insert_post([
    'post_title'   => $title,
    'post_content' => $content,
    'post_status'  => 'publish',
    'post_author'  => 1, // Replace with the desired author ID
    'post_category' => [2] // Replace with the desired category ID
]);

// Set the featured image
if ($post_id && file_exists($image_path)) {
    $attachment_id = wp_insert_attachment([
        'post_mime_type' => 'image/jpeg',
        'post_title'     => basename($image_path),
        'post_content'   => '',
        'post_status'    => 'inherit'
    ], $image_path, $post_id);

    require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/image.php');
    $attach_data = wp_generate_attachment_metadata($attachment_id, $image_path);
    wp_update_attachment_metadata($attachment_id, $attach_data);
    set_post_thumbnail($post_id, $attachment_id);
}
?>

Make sure to adjust file paths and IDs as needed.
