Wordpress Loader

bash

pip install llama-index-readers-wordpress

This loader fetches the text from Wordpress blog posts using the Wordpress API. It also uses the BeautifulSoup library to parse the HTML and extract the text from the articles.

Usage

To use this loader, you need to pass base url of the Wordpress installation (e.g. https://www.mysite.com) and optionally a username, and an application password for the user (more about application passwords here)

python

from llama_index.readers.wordpress import WordpressReader

loader = WordpressReader(
    url="https://www.mysite.com",
    username="my_username",
    password="my_password",
)
documents = loader.load_data()

This loader is designed to be used as a way to load data into LlamaIndex.

Pages and Posts

Be default, the loader retrieves both Wordpress pages (static content) and posts (blog entries) from the target site. This behavior can be configured by setting get_pages=False or get_posts=False when initializing the WordpressReader object.

Additional Custom Post types

To scrape additional custom endpoints beside posts and pages, you can specify additional_post_types as a comma-separated list (e.g., additional_post_types="custom-pages,custom-posts") when initializing the WordpressReader object.

python

from llama_index.readers.wordpress import WordpressReader

loader = WordpressReader(
    url="https://www.mysite.com",
    username="my_username",
    password="my_password",
    additional_post_types="webiners,podcasts",
)
documents = loader.load_data()
