So I am trying to write some Python code to use the Wordpress API to publish a Post. I don’t get the full error message so I am not sure what’s wrong. I am not sure if this is a bug or if its a problem in my code. Here is the Error message. “Image build for im-ss3uyX8TNhRu5BPgewNSsM failed with the exception: task exited with failure, status = exit status: 1”
Here is the code:
"
import os
import requests
import json
def publish_to_wordpress(wordpress_api_key: str, wordpressurl: str, featuredimageurl: str, post_content: str):
