Before you can create any article prompts you will need to enter your OpenAI and Pixabay API Keys.

OpenAI are the creators of ChatGPT and AI Article Publisher uses their API to generate the AI article content. Pixabay are the providers of royalty free images and AI Article Publisher uses their API to include images in your articles.

Getting Your Chat GPT API Key

To use the API, you need to create a developer account with OpenAI. You’ll need to have your email address, phone number, and debit or credit card details handy and then follow these steps:

• Go to the API signup page.


• Create your account (you’ll need to provide your email address and your phone number).


• Go to the API Keys page.


• Create a new secret key.


• Take a copy of this key. (If you lose it, delete the key and create a new one.)


• Go to the Payment Methods page.


• Click ‘Add payment method’ and fill in your card details.

IMPORTANT: Using the ChatGPT API is not free so it is very important that you set usage limits that you are comfortable with.

To do this, visit https://platform.openai.com/account/billing/limits

Go to where it says hard limit and change this to for example $5 per month. Change your soft limit (which is when you receive a notification message) to a little below this, for example $4 and click save.

Getting Your Pixabay API Key

To get a Pixabay API key, follow these steps:

• Go to the Pixabay website at https://pixabay.com/


• If you don’t have an account, click on the “Join” or “Sign up” button to create a new account.


• Provide the required information, such as your email address and a password, to register for an account.


• Log in to your account: Once you have created an account, log in using your credentials.


• In the top menu of the Pixabay website, find the “API” option and click on it. This will take you to the Pixabay API documentation page.


• Scroll down on the API documentation page until you see the section that says “Your API Key”.


• Pixabay may require you to verify your email address before issuing the API key. Check your email inbox for a verification email from Pixabay and follow the instructions provided to verify your account.

Note, it is free to use the Pixabay API.

Adding Your API Keys in the Admin Area

Once you have both of the required API keys, log in to your "AI Article Robot" dashboard to enter them.

Enter your API keys and click “Save API Settings”

Please note: Both your OpenAi and Pixabay API keys must be entered correctly for these settings to save.

Adding a New WordPress Website

To add a new website you will need the site URL, admin username and the user's "Application Password". Please note, this is not the password that you use to log in to your WordPress admin area.

To get the "Application Password", log in to WordPress as the user that you wich to use.

Click "Users" form the left-hand menu and click "Edit" to edit the user details".

Scroll down to where it says "Application Passwords", enter any "Application Password Name" and click "Add New Application Password".

A password will be created for you. Copy and save this password somewhere as you will not see it again.

Now enter your "Website URL", "Username" and "Password" in the "AI Article Robot " dashboard to add your site to the system.

Creating Prompts

To create a new prompt for a site that you have added, click "Settings" nect to the site name in your dashboard and navigate to the "Add New Prompt" section.

“Article Keyword” is the main keyword for your article. For example “Photography”, “Gardening” or “AI Technology”. The software will generate article titles based on this keyword.

“Custom Prompt” is an open field where you can enter any special instructions for ChatGPT to follow when it creates the article. For example “Write the article in a friendly and familiar tone”, or “Use a professional tone of voice”.

“Length” is the desired number of words to be included in the article. Please note that ChatGPT often falls short of the article length that you request, so it’s a good idea to set this number higher than your preferred length.

“Pixabay Keyword” is the keyword that the software will use to find related images on Pixabay. TIP: Search on Pixabay.com before you set up your prompt to see examples of the results that will be returned for specific keywords. If your keyword returns less than 10 images, “AI Article Publisher” will not add the prompt, as it is likely that the same images will be used multiple times in your articles. Try to use keywords here that produce hundreds of good and relevant results when you search using the keyword on Pixabay.com.

“Frequency” is the setting which specifies how often articles will be published using this prompt. The free version of the plugin is limited to once every 30 days, however the “Pro” version is able to publish articles as often as you want at a rate of one per hour.

“Category” is the WordPress post category that you want the article to be published under. You can manage your WordPress categories by going to “Posts” > “Categories” from the left-hand menu in your WordPress admin area.

“User” is the WordPress user that you want to be credited as the author of the post. You can manage your WordPress users by going to “Users” from the left-hand menu in your WordPress admin area.

Once you have created a prompt it will be listed on the plugin settings page. You can activate or deactivate a particular prompt using the switch in the “Active” column. You can also delete prompts from this list.

You can run a prompt at any time by clicking the “RUN NOW” button next to it. When you do this the page may take several seconds to load. Please leave the page open until the task completes as cClosing down this page before it completes will cause the article creation to fail.

You can view articles that have created by going to “Posts” from the left-hand menu in your WordPress admin area.
