Humanities Commons integration

[kallewesterling]

Planning this now.

• Humanities Commons has access to wp-json (see the example with posts from the president's blog here), so it might be our best bet in terms of integrating the WordPress site contents into the integration with Django (see here and here). The problem with this approach is that we cannot rely any longer on an unpaid deployment server as it will need to send requests to the wp-json on HumCommons (and external requests are blocked on non-paid accounts).

  • Here is a post that describes interaction with wp-json through requests

  • In order to build on this, I think we also need to have an open conversation with someone on their team about what we're trying to build and ensure that we won't run into rate limits etc.
