Import Slides from JSON programatically

Hey,

How much coding experience do you have? The application will just send a POST request with the JSON file that gets sent to the server where it does some validation then processes it.

That endpoint is here: https://plugins.trac.ww.wp.xz.cn/browser/ml-slider/trunk/admin/routes/api.php#L448

You could send a post request to the same endpoint using any method you’d like, but would need to be authenticated, of course. That’s beyond the scope of what I can help with, but you can check out how I did it with JS here:

Check the _setup.js file and the Slideshow.js file for the import method.

Alternatively, you could just load in the PHP class directly (check the top of the first file I linked to above), then invoke the import method with the JSON file directly. You may need to import other dependencies but I think you would easily identify them by whatever error message you got otherwise.

The import method itself isn’t necessarily impressive, so you could also write your own modeled after it:
