How can RWordPress get blog content?

Question

I would like to get the content of posts from my WordPress blog. Using the RWordPress package, you can easily get categories and tags and headers, but what about message content?

 # Download and load the package if (!require('RWordPress')) { devtools::install_github(c("duncantl/XMLRPC", "duncantl/RWordPress")) } library(RWordPress) # list all the functions in the package lsf.str("package:RWordPress") 

Here, for example, is the code for getting the categories, with my specification copied in brackets:

 Cat <- getCategoryList(login = c([my user name] = '[my password'), .server = 'http://[my blog on].wpengine.com/xmlrpc.php') 

The related SO question is not applicable since it does not use RWordPress [HTML and CSS and PHP coding] .

This site is about publishing on WordPress, not extracting it from WordPress [posting, not getting] . Another question uses xmlrpc, like RWordPress, and the call to getPosts, but it does not rely on R.

 Posts <- getPosts(num = 100, blogid = 0L, login = c([my user name] = '[my password]'), .server = 'http://[my blog name].wpengine.com/xmlrpc.php') 

The code above returns dates, names and status, but not content.

Thanks for any recommendations.

******************** Edit after the first answer

After requesting RWordPress and RWordPress , and then defining an object to log in and for .server, here is the console message:

 > getPageList(blogid = 0L, login = WordpressLogin, .server = WordpressURL) Error in xml.rpc(.server, op, as.integer(blogid), names(login), as.character(login), : Problems 

I find that “Problems” is not an informative error message for me.

Tell me if something is missing for me, but for me the message id description seems to deliver all the text.

RWordpress displays all functions in XML-RPC wp

 if (!require('RWordPress')) { devtools::install_github(c("duncantl/XMLRPC", "duncantl/RWordPress")) } library(RWordPress) options(WordpressLogin = c(myusername = 'mypassword'), WordpressURL = 'http://localhost/myblog/wordpress/xmlrpc.php') # library(knitr) # can refer this page # http://codex.wordpress.org/XML-RPC_wp #Rwordpress has a one to one mapping getCategories() #get a list of pages getPageList() # pick one id from above list id=27 getPage(pageid = id) # description seems to have all the text of post, even though the # document is sparse getPage(pageid = id)$description #similarly for posts getPost(postid = 6)$description 

Of course, I use a locally installed blog, but I believe that this should work remotely.
