SemanticHub – AI Auto Blogging & Content Automation

Description

SemanticHub is an AI content automation service for publishers, newsrooms and niche blogs. It monitors the sources you choose (news sites, RSS feeds, newsletters), groups related articles into topics and writes original articles about them with the structure and tone you define. This plugin brings those finished articles into WordPress as native posts.

Use it for auto blogging with an editor in the loop: every article lands in a moderation queue first, and you decide whether it becomes a draft or a published post.

Features

• Automatic import – the plugin checks your SemanticHub feed every 15 minutes, or on demand with “Fetch now”.
• Moderation queue – review incoming articles and turn each one into a draft with one click, or dismiss it.
• Draft or auto-publish – follow the publishing mode set in SemanticHub, or force “always draft” / “always publish”.
• Native block editor content – headings, lists, quotes, images, captions and embeds arrive as valid Gutenberg blocks.
• Featured image and media – images are downloaded into the Media Library and the featured image is set.
• SEO metadata – SEO title and meta description are written for Yoast SEO and Rank Math.
• Categories, tags and custom taxonomies – mapped from the article or from your defaults.
• Revisions without duplicates – an updated article updates the existing post instead of creating a second one.
• Multilingual – bilingual deliveries create linked translations when Polylang is active.
• Source attribution – every imported post keeps a link back to its sources.
• Guided setup – a Start screen walks you through connecting the site in three steps.

Editing, workflow configuration and source management stay in the SemanticHub application. The plugin requires a SemanticHub account and an API token. The API endpoint is provided by the plugin and can be overridden by the site administrator in wp-config.php or with the semantichub_api_base filter.

External service

This plugin is a client for SemanticHub, a hosted service that groups source articles into topics and generates editorial content from them. The plugin is useless without an account there, because all content it imports is produced by that service.

The plugin contacts the SemanticHub API (by default https://semantichub.app, overridable with the SEMANTICHUB_API_BASE constant or the semantichub_api_base filter) in these situations:

• every 15 minutes, and when an administrator selects “Fetch now”, to download content approved in your SemanticHub account (GET /api/plugin/feed);
• after an item is imported or dismissed, to confirm the delivery so it is not sent twice (POST /api/plugin/feed/ack, POST /api/plugin/feed/published);
• once a day, and on demand from the settings screen, to report which Gutenberg blocks and content sections this installation can render (GET /api/plugin/goals, PUT /api/goals/{id}/target-manifest);
• when an administrator selects “Test connection”.

Data sent: the API token of this installation, the list of block and section names the plugin supports, the plugin version, and the identifiers plus resulting post IDs of items you import. No post content, visitor data, or personal data of your site’s users is sent. Requests are authenticated with Authorization: Bearer sh_… over HTTPS.
