How to use Python to create a Post in WordPress?

Question

as @prathamesh patil say, you missed the authentication = your jwt token

how to generate `jwt token` ?

simple = core logic
- install and enable WordPress plugin: JWT Authentication for WP REST API
- wordpress server enable HTTP:Authorization
  - purpose: allow to call /wp-json/jwt-auth/v1 api
- add JWT_AUTH_SECRET_KEY into wp-config.php
- call POST https://www.yourWebsite.com/wp-json/jwt-auth/v1/token with wordpress username and password, response contain your expected jwt token
  - look like: eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJpc3MiOiJodHRwczpcL1wvd3d3LmNyaWZhbi5jb20iLCJpYXQiOjE1ODQxMDk4OTAsIm5iZiI6MTU4NDEwOTg5MCwiZXhwIjoxNTg0NzE0NjkwLCJkYXRhIjp7InVzZXIiOnsiaWQiOiIxIn19fQ.YvFzitTfIZaCwtkxKTIjP715795OMAVQowgnD8G3wk0
