// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Http')
$http = new COM("Chilkat.Http");

// Use your WordPress login, such as "admin", not the application name.
$http->Login = 'wp_username';
// Use the application password, such as "Nths RwVH eDJ4 weNZ orMN jabq"
// See WordPress Application Passwords Plugin
$http->Password = 'app_password';
$http->BasicAuth = 1;

// Note: For this to work, you'll likely need to update your .htaccess file on your WordPress server.
// Otherwise you'll get this error:
// 
// 401 : Sorry, you are not allowed to create posts as this user
// 
// Your default .htaccess file probably looks like this:
// 
// <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
// RewriteEngine On
// RewriteBase /
// RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - 
// RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
// RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
// RewriteRule . /index.php 
// </IfModule>
// # END WordPress
// 
// Add the following line immediately after the "RewriteEngine On" line:    RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
// Your .htaccess file should look like this after the edit:
// 
// <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
// RewriteEngine On
// RewriteRule .* - [E=REMOTE_USER:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
// RewriteBase /
// RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - 
// RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
// RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
// RewriteRule . /index.php 
// </IfModule>
// # END WordPress

// The status can be "draft" or "publish"

// Add tags -- but you need to know the ID of an existing tag.
// See Chilkat's other WordPress example for creating a tag, or getting the ID of an existing tag.
$tagIdx = 0;

// When Chilkat sees the literal string "[i]" in the JSON path, it replaces the "i" with the value of the "I" property.
