How to configure SEO data for Article

How to configure SEO data for Article, I use Yoast Seo plugin.

How do I populate this data from the yoast panel with data generated by articles?

You cannot directly manipulate Yoast meta data using neither n8n nor the WordPress REST API. **The Yoast REST API is currently read-only.

so it is not possible to fill this data? will I have to do it manually after the article is posted?

[khabirul_basar]

Not possible for now. But take a look at this: https://yoast.com/help/yoast-seo-tools-bulk-editor/

Hey @Edgard_Neto

You can use the MySQL node to modify the Yoast meta_keys in the database, after you have created the post with n8n.

Once you have the post ID of the post, you can look up in the wp_postmeta table, the meta_keys starting with _yoast that belong to the post ID just generated.

SELECT * FROM `database_name`.`wp_postmeta` WHERE (`meta_key` LIKE '%_yoast%') AND (`post_id` LIKE '%12705%') ORDER BY `meta_id` LIMIT 500 OFFSET 0;

Wow! Will try for sure.

Awesome, I’ll take the test.

Thanks!
