Quick Start
Use the API in your code:
// Get a blog post as JSON (returns title + post_content)
const response = await fetch('https://loremblocksum.com/api/posts/blog');
const { title, post_content } = await response.json();
// Get raw block markup (paste directly into WP code editor)
const raw = await fetch('https://loremblocksum.com/api/posts/blog?format=raw');
const markup = await raw.text();
// PHP (WordPress)
$response = wp_remote_get('https://loremblocksum.com/api/posts/blog');
$data = json_decode(wp_remote_retrieve_body($response));
$post_content = $data->post_content;
// cURL - raw markup
curl "https://loremblocksum.com/api/posts/blog?format=raw"Response Format
Post endpoints return JSON with title and post_content (matching the wp_posts schema):
{
"title": "Understanding Modern JavaScript",
"post_content": "<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>Introduction</h2>\n<!-- /wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Lorem ipsum...</p>\n<!-- /wp:paragraph -->"
}Add ?format=raw to get the post_content value directly as text/html — ready to paste into the WordPress code editor.
