Autopilot Function for Automatic RSS Parsing

The autopilot function is now available to automatically parse posts from an RSS feed. Please note that the wp-cron (https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/cron/) is used for scheduling the autopilot function, which triggers the task scheduler only when the website is visited. If you encounter issues with this function, you can add the following option to the wp-config.php file: define('ALTERNATE_WP_CRON', true);

To configure the autopilot settings, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the Autopilot tab in the menu (News Parser -> Autopilot).
2. In the Schedule Options, select the URL that corresponds to the RSS source from which parsing will take place.
3. Click on the Select button.
4. After the data is loaded, the following options will be available:

• Status: Determines whether the autopilot is activated for this source.
• Maximum Number of Posts: Sets the maximum number of posts to be parsed from this source.
• Maximum Number of Autopilot Runs: Specifies the maximum number of times the autopilot should run for this source.
• Parsing Frequency: Defines the frequency at which parsing should occur from this source.

1. Additionally, in this menu, you can delete previously saved parsing templates.

AI Feature

To use AI feature you need to get API key from OpenAI or from Google.
To use AI for generating content on your website, follow these instructions:
1. Set up the Open API Key:
– To setup OpenAPI key, open the wp-config.php file and add the following line to define your API key: define('NEWS_PARSER_OPENAI_API_KEY', 'your_key').
– To setup Google key, open the wp-config.php file and add the following line to define your API key: define('NEWS_PARSER_GEMINI_API_KEY','your_key').
2. Access the Visual Constructor: Go to the Visual Constructor within your website’s admin panel.
3. Select the AI Provider: In the AI tab of the Visual Constructor, you will see a list of available AI providers. Choose the desired provider from the list.
3. Generate Featured Image: In the Featured Image section, check the “Generate using AI” option if you want to generate a new featured image for your post. Select the model and enter a prompt. Use ${title} in the prompt wherever you want to insert the original title.
4. Generate Post Title: In the Post Title section, check the “Generate using AI” option if you want to generate a new title for your post. Select the model and enter a prompt. Use ${title} in the prompt wherever you want to insert the original title.
5. Generate Post Body: In the Post Body section, select the model for generating the post’s content. Enter a prompt in the request field and use ${post} where you want to include the original article’s text and you can use tag ${title} here as well.
6. Add Pipeline (Optional): If you need to modify the text using multiple requests, open the “Add Pipeline” tab. Enter the additional request text, which will automatically include the result of the previous request. Click “Add Prompt” to add this request to the pipeline. With the pipeline, you can ask the AI to review the results of the previous generation or request translation of the generated text into another language.
7. Apply AI Modifications: After configuring the AI settings for content modification, you can apply them immediately by selecting the content in the Visual Constructor and clicking the “Create Post” button. Alternatively, you can save these settings as a template for applying them during RSS parsing or when using the autopilot function.
Please note that when using AI for content generation, it requires making API requests to the OpenAI API, which will incur charges on your OpenAI account. Additionally, the AI generation process can take a significant amount of time.
By following these instructions, you can use artificial intelligence to create content for your website, whether it’s parsing individual pages, parsing from RSS feeds, or using the autopilot function.

WP-CLI Support

With the latest update, a new feature has been introduced that leverages wp-cli. This feature enables users to activate an autopilot function, allowing for automated parsing and saving of posts from RSS feeds. The autopilot function can now be accessed directly from the command-line interface, providing a convenient way to manage this process.

To utilize this functionality, you’ll need to install wp-cli and execute the command wp autopilot in the command-line interface. Additionally, you’ll need to specify the desired interval at which the autopilot function should be triggered by including the additional parameter wp autopilot --interval=. This allows you to customize the frequency of the autopilot function according to your specific needs.

By incorporating wp-cli and the new “wp autopilot” command, managing the automatic parsing and saving of posts from RSS feeds becomes more efficient and streamlined. This feature provides enhanced control and flexibility, empowering users to automate their post management tasks with ease.

Example:

wp autopilot --interval=hourly<h3>Dependencies</h3>
