Tell us what you are trying to do?

How can I create custom posts (a Toolset Type with custom fields) using the REST API (or XML-RPC API)? Previously I have been importing via CSV using the "Ultimate CSV Importer PRO" plugin, but I'd like to migrate to a custom integration using Python and the REST API (or XML-RPC API if that isn't possible).

Is there any documentation that you are following?
We have extensively researched our Plugin and also other means. But mostly unofficial online documentation.

Is there a similar example that we can see?
Unfortunately, we currently have to perform manual imports using the "Ultimate CSV Importer" plugin because the scheduling functionality doesn't work. We are trying to do a "refresh" once per hour.

What is the link to your site?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Toolset offers the REST API integration by means of exposing the custom fields created using Types plugin to REST API. Please check the following Doc:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/toolset-integration-with-the-rest-api/

To post the custom field, the POST endpoint is required and that needs pure custom programming and that is beyond the scope of our support policy.

Still I have few articles/Docs to share with you which you can use as reference:

Please note that this is custom code and that is beyond the scope of our support policy. If you are not sure how to do it, please consult with pro REST API devs. You can even contact Toolset Certified contractors:
