change meta description over API

I’m looking into ways to programmatically update meta descriptions for my posts in batch. I understand some functionalities are available with a Pro subscription, but I’m interested in knowing if there are any hooks or developer resources available for users of the free version that would allow updating meta descriptions through custom development.

Any guidance or resources you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @alekmitch,

Thanks for reaching out!

All in One SEO uses the WordPress REST API to communicate with the WordPress application.

However, some plugins or firewalls may block access to the REST API, which can cause you to be unable to save data in AIOSEO.

Here’s the REST route below that you may want to whitelist on your site or server firewalls to see if that works for you: https://yourdomain.com/wp-json/aioseo/*

For Cloudflare, you may follow this URL: https://aioseo.com/docs/unable-to-save-settings-due-to-cloudflare-firewall-rules/

However, if you’re looking for a way to update meta descriptions programmatically, you may customize the code snippet mentioned in the below URL according to your needs: https://aioseo.com/docs/aioseo_description/

All of the filters and hooks can be found here: https://aioseo.com/doc-categories/filter-hooks/

Hope that helps! Please let me know if you’ve any other questions!
