Description
What this does
- Show you how to us XMLRPC APIs via the generic HTTP-Request-node, by the example of posting to a wordpress blog
- This is also a feasible workaround if a specific n8n integration does not work or stops working (which happens e.g. with the Wordpress node)
How it works
- First, the XML payload for the request is being prepared (in a code node, which also properly escapes special character in the values that you want to send to the XMLRPC endpoint)
- Then, the HTTP Request node sends the request using the HTTP post method
- Last, the returned XML response is converted to JSON which a conditional node uses to determine whether th operation was successful or not
Setup steps:
- Import workflow
- Ensure you have a wordpress blog with a user that has an app-Password
- Edit the “Settings”-node and enter your individual values for url/user/app-pw
