Bridge between parse.com api and wordpress

WordPress Parse Api

Bridge between Parse api and WordPress

Description

The goal of this plugin its to replicate all your posts to Parse so you can easily develop mobile apps, because I find very useful their SDK and help us to develop apps faster without worring about the security or if someone else can read data from our blog and use it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Parse.com?

Because I find there a well documented SDK's for the most popular mobile platforms.

How it works?

Configure the plugin under Settings -> Parse Api as describe in the instalation. Every time you publish or save a published post it will create/update their respective row on Parse

Then use the SDK of your prefered platform and start coding.
