API post generation, no images generated

    I am using a python script to generate and publish posts via api, rather than manually adding them in wordpress backend.

    I would like magic thumbnail to automatically generate a featured image at the same time as each post is published but at the moment it does not work.

    Is there a setting I need to change? or some way I can call this with the python script when generating the article?

    I can go in manually and select posts then bulk generate but I am looking for a way to do this automatically when each new post is added

    Hi maslk,
    This is not currently included in the plugin. I may add it in a future update.

    In the meantime, you can still generate the image with a few lines of php code using the post id.
    I’m not sure about this code but maybe you would reuse these lines :

    $plugin = new Magic_Post_Thumbnail();
$plugin_admin = new Magic_Post_Thumbnail_Admin( $plugin->get_plugin_name(), $plugin->get_version() );
$launch_plugin = $plugin_admin->MPT_trigger_wp_insert_post($post_id);

    Thanks thats great. Managed to get it working creating a new endpoint and calling from python:

    <?php
/*
Plugin Name: Magic Post Thumbnail Trigger
Description: Trigger Magic Post Thumbnail via REST API.
*/

function trigger_magic_post_thumbnail($request) {
? ? $post_id = $request['id'];

? ? // Trigger Magic Post Thumbnail using the post ID.
? ? $plugin = new Magic_Post_Thumbnail();
? ? $plugin_admin = new Magic_Post_Thumbnail_Admin( $plugin->get_plugin_name(), $plugin->get_version() );
? ? $launch_plugin = $plugin_admin->MPT_trigger_wp_insert_post($post_id);

? ? return rest_ensure_response('Image generation triggered.');
}

add_action('rest_api_init', function () {
? ? register_rest_route('magic-post-thumbnail/v1', '/trigger/(?P<id>\d+)', array(
? ? ? ? 'methods' => 'GET',
? ? ? ? 'callback' => 'trigger_magic_post_thumbnail',
? ? ));
});

    Glad to know it works with this code!
