BlinkHub Wire Importer

BlinkHub turns official government press releases into ready-to-publish news copy. This plugin pulls the countries and language you choose into your site as drafts (or published posts, if you prefer), keeps the source’s licence notice and a link to the original release, and never overwrites your own canonical URL.

When one of these stories is published on your site, the plugin reports the post URL back to BlinkHub so the original source can see where it ran. Organisations’ paid press releases are always labelled “Press release”, and you can switch them off.

This plugin is made by BlinkHub (blinkhub.net), the operator of the news feed it connects to.

External service

This plugin connects to the BlinkHub news feed API (https://wire.blinkhub.net), operated by BlinkHub. It sends nothing until you save an API key.

• The verification code field only prints a meta tag on your pages; it makes no request.
• What is sent: your API key; requests for article lists and articles; and, for stories you publish, the post URL, publish time, language, post ID and status (published or removed). No reader data and no personal data is sent.
• When: on the schedule you choose (every 15, 30 or 60 minutes) and when you click “Import now” or “Test connection”.
