  I like to pop up a feedback dialog on my web site using Java script and then have the users feedback post to my wordpress blog via a AJAX call.

  Is this possible?
  Is there a documented http based API?
  Are there examples on how to do this?

  Thank you very much.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Sorry that’s NOT possible here @ WP.com please refer to this WP.com FAQ http://support.wordpress.com/code/ Also Java Script is not allowed for security reasons

  Given the response, I believe my question may have been misunderstood. I do not want to embed Java Script within my WP blog. I understand that this would be a security risk.

  I am running my own web site and want to post a blog post programmatically from my own web site. I have configured WP in such a way that anonymous blogging is allowed.

  The question is whether WP requires a user to blog a post using WP user interface or whether WP exposes an interface, which allows to programmatically post.

  Thank you.

  Hello, Is there really no way to post a blog entry programmatically? My own web site runs on foo.com and my WP blog on blog.foo.com. I like to post from foo.com to blog.foo.com. This should be allowed and doable, since no cross domain problem.
  Thanks

  There is an xml-rpc api, but we know nothing about it here, and there might be some differences between the api for blogs here and self-hosted blogs, but the only place that would know anything about the api would be over at wordpress.ORG.

  The XML-RPC API for WordPress.com is the same as for WordPress.org:

  Thanks a lot. I believe this is the right blog. I am NOT self hosting, but use wordpress.com as hoster.

  I posted my question differently at https://en.forums.wordpress.com/#post-394011 to make it more clear. Thank you!
