Indexa × Joomla

Flexible open-source CMS for communities and complex sites

MediumSetup: 10 minutes

Joomla is a mature, open-source CMS with a strong community and extensible component architecture. It's popular for membership portals, community sites, and multilingual sites. Indexa uses Joomla's built-in Web Services API (available since Joomla 4) to publish AI articles directly to your Joomla installation.

How it works

  1. 1

    Enable the Joomla Web Services API plugin and create an API token for a user with Author or Editor privileges.

  2. 2

    Paste your Joomla site URL and API token into Indexa and select the target category for published articles.

  3. 3

    Indexa pushes new articles to Joomla's `/api/index.php/v1/content/articles` endpoint on your configured schedule.

Why use Indexa with Joomla?

API-native integration — no third-party plugins required, uses Joomla's built-in Web Services API.

Category support — Indexa assigns articles to the correct Joomla category based on topic.

Multilingual ready — Joomla's multilingual associations work seamlessly with Indexa's multi-language generation.

Access level control — specify whether published articles are Public, Registered, or Special.

Requirements

  • ·Joomla 4.0 or later (Web Services API is not available in Joomla 3).
  • ·The "Joomla API Application" plugin must be enabled in Plugin Manager.
  • ·An API token generated for a user account with at minimum Author-level permissions.

Frequently asked questions

Does Indexa work with Joomla 3?

No. Joomla's built-in Web Services API was introduced in Joomla 4. Joomla 3 would require a third-party REST plugin which Indexa does not support.

Can Indexa set meta tags in Joomla?

Yes. Indexa sets the meta title, meta description, and meta keywords fields via the API. For advanced SEO schema, we recommend pairing with the OSSeO or ScJoomSEF extension.

Will articles be published immediately or as drafts?

You choose in Indexa's settings. Articles can be published with state "Published", "Unpublished" (draft), or "Archived". Most users start with Unpublished to review before going live.

Does Indexa support Joomla multi-language sites?

Yes. You can configure Indexa to publish each article with the correct Joomla language tag, which integrates with Joomla's built-in Multilingual Associations.
