Apitect API Feed Display lets you connect to any external REST API or XML feed and display the response data anywhere on your WordPress site — no coding required.
Key Features:
<ul>
<li>Admin Endpoint Manager — Add, edit, delete, and live-test saved API endpoints</li>
<li>JSON & XML Support — Auto-detect or manually specify the response format</li>
<li>Response Caching — Configurable TTL using the WordPress Transients API</li>
<li>4 Display Modes — Table, Cards, List, or Raw JSON</li>
<li>Shortcode — <code>[apitect_feed]</code> with rich attribute support</li>
<li>Sidebar Widget — Display any saved endpoint in any widget area</li>
<li>Gutenberg Block — Drag-and-drop block with live editor preview</li>
<li>Custom HTTP Headers — Bearer tokens, API keys, and custom headers per endpoint</li>
<li>Data Path Drilling — Dot-notation to target nested data (e.g. <code>data.items</code>)</li>
<li>Field Filtering — Show only specific keys from the response</li>
<li>Item Limiting — Restrict the number of rows or cards displayed</li>
</ul>
<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin connects to external APIs and services that you configure yourself. No external service is contacted by default — connections only occur when you explicitly add an endpoint URL in the plugin’s admin settings and that endpoint is requested on your site.
What data is sent: 
The plugin makes HTTP requests (GET, POST, etc.) to the API URLs you configure. The request may include any custom HTTP headers you specify (such as API keys or Bearer tokens). No data is sent to any third-party service by Apitect API Feed Display itself — all API calls go directly to the URL you enter.
When data is sent: 
A request is made to your configured API URL when: 
– A page/post containing the <code>[apitect_feed]</code> shortcode or the Gutenberg block is loaded by a visitor. 
– You use the “Test” button in the admin panel to preview a response. 
– A sidebar widget configured with an endpoint is displayed.
Responses are cached using WordPress Transients to reduce repeated API calls (configurable per endpoint; default 300 seconds).
Third-party API policies: 
You are solely responsible for ensuring that your use of any external API complies with that service’s terms of service and privacy policy. Please review the terms and privacy policy of any API you connect to:
<ul>
<li>The plugin has no affiliation with any external API provider.</li>
<li>API providers may log IP addresses, request metadata, or other information per their own policies.</li>
<li>For APIs that handle personal data, ensure you have appropriate disclosures in your site’s own Privacy Policy.</li>
</ul>

Import content from any XML or RSS file or URL.
You can import the content to any post type in your WordPress install. You can also import taxonomies.
Our plugin is especailly useful for importing content from Wix websites.
<h3>Step by Step process</h3>
<ul>
<li>Select the source ( URL or FILE UPLOAD ).</li>
<li>Select your repeated XML element you want to import – this should be the node in your XML file which will be considered a post upon import.</li>
<li>Select the post type you want to import the content to.</li>
<li>Match the fields from the XML node you’ve selected (step 2) to the corresponding fields you have available on the post type.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Supported files and URLs</h3>
<ul>
<li>The XML source file should be a valid XML file. <a href="https://validator.w3.org/feed/" rel="nofollow ugc">You can check your feed validation here.</a></li>
<li>JSON feeds needs to be first converted to RSS or XML file <a href="https://www.convertjson.com/json-to-xml.htm" rel="nofollow ugc">using tools such as this.</a></li>
<li>The plugin will then check if the URL source or the uploaded file is valid before the import and processing starts</li>
<li>If you use URL source for import, please ensure the URL is not password protected</li>
<li>Supported formats: XML 1.0, XML 2.0, Atom 1, RSS</li>
</ul>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>
XML Preview – After successfully uploading an XML file or reading an external URL, the plugin will present you with an XML preview of the selected node. This can be used to check if you’ve selected the correct node and ensure that the data are read correctly by the plugin. The preview presents one item from the selected node but it is paginated so you can navigate back and forward between the elements.
</li>
<li>
Linking Taxonomies to Posts – You can import categories and taxonomies from the XML file and link the imported posts to these taxonomies. First you need to have the taxonomies created in WordPress to allow the plugin to import into these taxonomies. By default WordPress has two taxonomies: categories and tags.
</li>
<li>
Limit posts – In the “Import Settings” area you can set limits for the import. You can use multiple patterns to include posts in the import. Use semicolon to separate the values, for example: 1-8;10;14-
</li>
<li>
Importing and linking multiple taxonomies to one post – To import and link one post to multiple taxonomies, you need to have an XML element in your selected node with a list of categories separated by commas. These elements will be recognized and imported separately as taxonomy terms.
</li>
<li>
Save & Load templates – Once the fields are matched, you can save the matching as a template, and use it again for another import.
</li>
<li>
Support for tag attributes
</li>
<li>
Custom Fields & ACF support
</li>
</ul>

Import XML and RSS Feeds

I wanted to convert an RSS feed into posts. This plugin lets you precisely map how you want meta data imported and even integrates with Advanced Custom Fields.

Huge help!

It messes up sensitive data like publication dates or categories; doesn't actually do anything with external media except creating blank database posts... The only upside is that it supports ACF.
________________________

Editing since i have tried different approach with it, for some reason the images downloads just fine on another hosting(same config) and dates needs to have proper format. 

It still pretty much can't synchronize categories but i can live with that.

cool
