Add a button on WP post-edit page, which when clicked will call a python script.
-
Hello
I’m developing an admin-side plugin for WordPress admin and authors to be involved in the post edit screen when an article is being drafted.
I am trying to add a button on the WP post-edit page, which when clicked will send the post’s content to a python script that implements NLP, and uploads the processed data to a MySQL database and finally notify the plugin code running once the data is uploaded. My PHP code will then pull the data from the MySQL DB and display it on a pop-up screen for the author to see.I want to add the button in the position shown (check out this link Screenshot of post-edit screen ( button location ) ). The flow is similar to any text analysis plugin (but I want to call the analysis functionality only when clicked). I need help with locating the exact documentation that shows how my plugin, when activated can add the button and register the functions to call. Would appreciate a pointer or two on this! Currently I’m looking at the source code of Easy Content Analysis and WProofReader.
(And I can call a PHP function in my plugin that can inturn call my python script too.)

I am not following the PHP OOP as of yet. I have one main plugin.php file, which contains the main class of my plugin. This is where, I enqueue javascript file (plugin folder/assets/plugin.js) , which contains the ajax request which will trigger once the button is pressed to run the PHP file (plugin folder/run-script.php) which will call the python script (plugin folder/assets/python.py) . All custom API endpoints are mentioned in (plugin folder/includes/wp-admin-api.php)
I want to know where should I embed the code for adding the button (the one near the publish button), and how should I run the HTML code within it?
I followed some of the links below, but they did not work.
