<p>A wordpress plugin that implements an API framework for you to control and manage one or many WordPress sites from a central location. The intention is to offer the ability to create your own web interface to interact with all of your WordPress sites, allowing you to update core, update plugins, install plugins, deactivate plugins and many more actions. A web interface is the intended centralized platform however management systems like Ansible, Salt and Puppet can be used to interact with your WordPress sites.</p>
<p>This plugin opens up your entire wordpress site to be accessed as an external API service. The idea behind this plugin is for you to access multiple wordpress sites to manage and execute actions such as updating plugins and WordPress core as an API service. Anyone that has the API key will be able to execute these actions on your WordPress site.</p>
<p>A python script is available in the bin folder of this plugin to provide a simple example of how one could interact with this plugin in order to perform actions such as updating plugins or WP Core remotely with API calls, authenticated with the generated KEY of course.</p>
<p>Future versions of this plugins may interact with a web service hosted and managed by Shift8, however currently anyone can interact with this plugin using the example python script as a starting point.</p>
