October CMS is built on the Laravel framework and is loved by PHP developers for its clean architecture, extensive plugin library, and file-based theming system. Indexa integrates with October CMS via its native REST API to publish AI-generated articles directly into any Blog or custom Content plugin.

How it works

    Install the October CMS REST API plugin and generate an API key from the backend Settings panel.

  2. 2

    Map your October Blog post fields (title, slug, content, excerpt, meta_title, meta_description) to Indexa.

  3. 3

    Indexa publishes on schedule, creating published or draft blog posts in October CMS automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Which October CMS version does Indexa support?

Indexa is tested with October CMS v2 and v3. Both versions use similar REST conventions. v1 (deprecated) is not supported.

Can I publish to custom plugins, not just the Blog plugin?

Yes. If your October CMS site uses a custom content plugin with its own API endpoint, you can configure Indexa to POST to that endpoint with the correct field mapping.

Does Indexa support October CMS media attachments?

Indexa can pass a featured image URL to October CMS. If the API supports file reference fields, Indexa will populate them. Direct media library uploads are on the roadmap.

How does slug generation work?

Indexa automatically generates an SEO-friendly slug from the article title before publishing to October CMS. You can also set a custom slug pattern in Indexa's settings.
