Import and Export
Location: MediaBlaster → General Settings → Import/Export tab
Use this tab to migrate content from another JSON feed source, download a snapshot of your current catalog, or integrate via the REST API.
Import a JSON feed
- Enter the Direct Publisher Feed URL — a publicly reachable URL that returns valid Roku Direct Publisher JSON.
- Select Import Type: Roku JSON.
- Click Start Import and watch the console for progress.
The importer creates WordPress posts and meta from movies, short-form videos, series, and related feed structures. Remote URLs are validated for safety before download.
Import tips
- Back up your site before large imports.
- Ensure the post types you need are enabled under General Settings first.
- Import requires administrator privileges and uses a secured AJAX endpoint.
Export and API access
The Export Direct Publisher (JSON) section may still offer a downloadable JSON snapshot of your catalog. For integrations in 3.0.0, prefer the REST API:
MediaBlaster v3 API base URL
https://YOUR-SITE.com/wp-json/mediablaster/v3
| Endpoint | Use |
|---|---|
GET / | Discovery — enabled post types and feature flags |
GET /content | Paginated published catalog |
GET /content/{id} | Single item with media, taxonomy, access |
See REST API Overview and Content API and Fields for full endpoint and field documentation.
Testing the API
- Open
GET /wp-json/mediablaster/v3in a browser to confirm the API is registered. - Call
GET /wp-json/mediablaster/v3/contentto list published items. - Use Application Passwords or Bearer auth (subscriptions) for create/update operations.
Subscription gating
REST content responses include access fields when subscriptions are enabled. Locked items may hide media.url from unauthorized viewers. Configure rules per post in the Subscription Access metabox.
