BeastPost WordPress Plugin

BeastPost is a WordPress plugin that leverages OpenAI's models and the Pexels API to generate detailed, well-formatted blog posts based on a subject provided by the user. In addition, it automatically retrieves a featured image using the Pexels API to complement the generated content.

Features

• Dynamic Content Generation:
  Uses OpenAI's API to create a comprehensive blog post, complete with a title, headers, lists, citations, and more.

• SEO Optimized Links:
  Automatically returns an SEO-friendly link based on the generated content.

• Featured Image Integration:
  Uses a three-word image description provided by OpenAI to query Pexels and set a featured image for the post.

• API Key Management:
  Displays graphical indicators for the availability of your OpenAI and Pexels API keys, with quick access to input missing keys directly from the post editor.

• Easy to Use:
  Integrates seamlessly into the WordPress post/page editor with a dedicated BeastPost sidebar section.
