<p>CSV Me is a very simple plugin that allows users to add a csv file from any url or select files from their local computer. The plugin stores the files and makes the data available for use in Posts and Pages via a shortcode.</p>
<p><strong>How to use CSV Me</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Follow the steps outlined in the Installation section to install the plugin.</li>
<li>Open the CSV Me File Manager by using the dashboard widget or find it under the Tools section of the Admin Menu.</li>
<li>Enter in a valid url linking to a csv file in the text box and clicking submit. Alternatively, users can select a file from their local machine and clicking save. If it is a valid csv file it will show up in your available files in the File Manager. See the frequently asked questions section for more information on valid csv file formats.</li>
<li>Now the saved csv files are available for display using shortcodes in post and pages.</li>
</ol>
<p>The following are examples of how to use the CSV Me shortcodes:</p>
<p><strong>To display all data from a file named filename.csv:</strong></p>
<pre><code>[csv_me name='filename.csv']
</code></pre>
<p>Notice the underscore on csv_me, quotes around the file, and the filename.csv must match one of the files listed in the File Manager.</p>
<p><strong>To display only column names of col1, col2 and col3:</strong></p>
<pre><code>[csv_me name='filename.csv' columns=’col1, col2, col3’]
</code></pre>
<p>This will display only col1, col2, col3, in that order, if they are valid columns listed in the File Manager.  Learn more about how columns work <a href="http://www.zootowntech.com/wordpress-plugins/csv-me/" rel="nofollow ugc">CSV Me Documentation</a> as well as the frequently asked questions section.</p>
<p><strong>To display only rows 3 through 10:</strong></p>
<pre><code>[csv_me name='filename.csv' row_start=3 row_end=10]
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Display sortable tables:</strong></p>
<pre><code>[csv_me name="example-file.csv" sortable='yes' header_style='blue']
</code></pre>
<p>This will display all the data in a table and allow users to sort the data by columns. The default header style is ‘blue’ however, it can be set to ‘green’ as well. It utilizes the excellent jQuery plugin called <a href="http://tablesorter.com/docs/" rel="nofollow ugc">tablesorter.js</a>.</p>

<p>The simplest method to link WordPress with external APIs</p>
<p>JCI simplifies the task of retrieving data from a third-party REST API. The returned JSON-, XML, CSV, TXT-data can be neatly arranged and showcased on your WordPress site via a shortcode, a JCI Block or PHP. The plugin can generate a template for the data display.</p>

Get Use APIs – JSON Content Importer


All I wanted to do is display the latest version number of my own plugin on my site.  I could have spent hours coding it myself, instead I spent 5 minutes installing and working out this plugin.  Great work Bernhard


Easy Peasy


learning curve is very steep with the plugin but it simply works and i fell in love with it! i use it for everything: fetching flight prices, weather data, syncing wordpress blocks / content across different sites / domain through wp rest api to name a few!


such a clever plugin

Connects an API to WordPress: Get API-data (JSON, XML, CSV...), show it with a Shortcode, a JCI Block or PHP. Generate a template with the JCI Block
