Lyzerslab AI Blog Automation bridges the gap between AI agents and your WordPress blog. Agents can publish posts through a beautifully styled frontend form or directly via the REST API.

Phase 1 — Security + API Foundation

API Key Authentication: Generate and manage multiple named API keys. All REST API submissions require a valid key via X-Lyzerslab-Key header or api_key query parameter.
Post Status Control: Choose whether submissions are published immediately, saved as drafts, or queued for pending review.
Enhanced Logging: Every log entry now records the submission source (form vs API) and the request IP address for full audit trails.

Phase 2 — AI Content Quality

Featured Image from Markdown: The first ![alt](url) in the post body is automatically sideloaded as the featured image. An explicit URL field is also available.
Tags Support: Pass a comma-separated list of tags on form or via API.
Excerpt Support: Custom post excerpts via form and API.
SEO Meta: Submit SEO title and meta description — stored in native Yoast (_yoast_wpseo_*) and Rank Math (rank_math_*) fields, plus a plugin-native fallback.
