Authentication

Uses WordPress Application Passwords (Basic Auth). Create one at: WordPress Admin > Users > Profile > Application Passwords

Multi-site Support

This server supports managing multiple Bricks Builder sites simultaneously:

1. BRICKS_SITES: Comma-separated list of site identifiers (e.g., main,staging,client)
2. Per-site variables: For each site ID, set BRICKS_{ID}_URL, BRICKS_{ID}_USERNAME, and BRICKS_{ID}_PASSWORD
3. Tool usage: Every tool accepts a site parameter. If omitted, the first configured site is used as default.

CPT Support

All element and CSS tools accept a post_type parameter that defaults to pages but works with any registered custom post type (e.g., posts, product, portfolio).

Response Format

List endpoints return paginated responses:

{
  "data": [...],
  "total": 25,
  "total_pages": 1
}
