Usage

To embed the content of a Quip document into a WordPress page or blog post, use the quip shortcode.

quip shortcode accepts two attributes and has the following format:

[quip id="mWnnAszre3MW" ttl=7200]

where

• id (Required) - The ID of the Quip document (e.g. https://quip.com/mWnnAszre3MW)

• ttl (Optional) - Time-To-Live in seconds. After the first request to the Quip API, the plugin caches the content of the document (HTML and images) for the specified amount of time (seconds). All consecutive requests to the same page or blog post will not call the Quip API again but instead will retrieve the document from the internal cache, making the pages faster. After the ttl expires, the plugin will call the Quip API and cache the result again. If the ttl attribute is not provided, the default value of 7200 seconds (2 hours) is used. You can change the default value in Quip Settings (menu Settings/WP Quip). If ttl is set to 0, the plugin will not cache the Quip API responses, and every request to the WordPress page or blog post will call the Quip API.

NOTE: Setting ttl to 0 also invalidates the document cache. This could be used if you change the Quip document and want the changes to be reflected on the website immediately. In this case, update the document in Quip, set ttl to 0 in the quip shortcode, refresh the WordPress page or blog post in the browser to invalidate the cache, and then set ttl back to its original value.
