Summary

The console utility to load the previews of the last news from the Wordpress sites. It makes requests to a WordPress site and saves the data in the JSON file.

  [
    {
    "id": 1232,
    "date": "2023-08-21T08:17:39",
    "status": "publish",
    "title": "C# method to create a UNC directory recursively and return the path",
    "excerpt": "<p>I will write down the useful method. I used it several times and it works good. It&#8217;s C# method to create a UNC directory recursively and return the path.</p>\n"
