API between Piwigo and Wikimedia Commons?

I am wondering what the possibility is of getting an API that is able to transfer content from Piwigo to Wikimedia Commons.  I occasionally upload Creative Commons-licensed content to my photo site, and I then turn around and also upload it to Wikimedia Commons in order for those works to be available to that community.  Currently, I have to complete the upload process twice: once for Piwigo and once for Wikimedia Commons.  It would be great if I could just port it directly over from one to the other.

Re: API between Piwigo and Wikimedia Commons?

I wonder if it would be possible to automate the process of uploading to Wikimedia, given how complex it is. I have been a minor contributor to Wikipedia for years, but last month was the first time I uploaded my photos to Wikimedia Commons. Four of my photos are currently pending, on the grounds that they are not mine, as they come from the building's official website. I replied that I was the one who posted the link to the site years ago on the building's Wikipedia page, and that I was the one who created the site with my photos for my brother, who was the owner of the building at the time. I still have not received a response regarding my media contributions.
On reflection, perhaps it would be useful to create a link between the original website and the contribution? Would that avoid the kind of problem I am encountering?
