How to copy wordpress posts from another site? Preferably automatically

Bro I think I need your help

A bit sorry to bump this old thread but since this is the exact issue I am facing... better not start a new thread maybe...

I am doing some test myself, say now I want to copy all articles from any other site (not necessarily have be a wordpress site though), for example, site A got 1,000 articles, and now I want to duplicate all these 1,000 articles to my wordpress site, you know manually copy&paste would kill me, as I think there must be some automatic way to do this.

I searched WProbot, automatic etc plugins and seems they are not what I want (maybe i am wrong, already PMed authors too and waiting for the response)

So in short, I want to quickly clone all articles from a targeted site to my wordpress site like OP asked, and lets say I can get all URLs list from these target sites (from sitemap, apparently), do you know any methods or plugin can do this? I know this involved parse URL or whatever, I googled some hours but with no luck...

I know a software named HTTrack, seems it is not my case.

I know wordpress got a function named XML import/export, can I import other website's .XML sitemap to mine?! (forgive my stupid, I think I am wrong, but no idea where lol, it still doesn't solve the HTML parse .... no idea)

Do you know if the site you want to copy is a WordPress site or HTML or is using another CMS?
You should be able to use a scraper and auto poster.

Try these:

I haven't tried them so it isn't a recommendation. Let me know how you get on and if they work well and successfully scrape and post.
