<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>
<p>20 seconds: Load API and display data</p>

<h3>Main Plugin Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>Low code usage: Save time and avoid coding using an API</li>
<li>Insert an API-URL into Step 1: Data is loaded, and and displayed. Save it as API-Access-Set.</li>
<li>Use the API-Access-Set in Step 2 to create a Shortcode</li>
<li>Optional for maximum flexibility: Use the API-Access-Set n PHP code</li>
<li>Insert an API-URL into the JCI Block: Data is loaded, and a template can be generated to display the data.</li>
<li>Easy to start: Check Installation – Is your WordPress ready for JCI? Most probably!</li>
<li>Basic Settings: Check SSL, Cacher, Gutenberg and Authentication</li>
<li>ContactForm7 Integration: Populate CF7 forms with JSON data and forward CF7-submitted data to an API.</li>
<li>Use the JCI cacher to avoid many API requests</li>
<li>JCI-Block :  Use the simple JCI Block interface to get data! Query the API and check the response. Then utilize the simple template generator inside the JCI Block to use the data!</li>
<li>Contact Form 7 Integration: Fill form and submit to API</li>
</ul>
<h3>Important Note Starting with Version 2.0.11</h3>
<p>Starting with version 2.0.11, any HTML code present in the shortcode or block is filtered to prevent dangerous code (e.g. JavaScript) from being output.<br />
However, if you want to allow certain tags or attributes as a deliberate choice:<br />
In the plugin’s “Basic Settings” there is a field called “Allow additional HTML tags (advanced)”.<br />
There you can enter comma-separated tags that should not be filtered out. For example, “iframe,script” would preserve these two tags in the HTML output.<br />
“tr#onclick” would preserve the “onclick” attribute in ”, which would otherwise be removed.</p>

<h4>JSON Content Importer PRO</h4>
<p>Both the free and PRO JCI Plugins serve the same purpose: retrieving data, transforming it, and publishing the results.<br />
However, while the free Plugin can only handle basic challenges, the PRO JCI Plugin offers nearly full control over WordPress, the database, and applications.<br />
<a href="https://json-content-importer.com/compare/" rel="nofollow ugc">Compare: Free vs. JCI PRO Plugin</a></p>
<p>PRO features:<br />
* application building by creating a searchform and connect it to a JSON-API in the background: pass GET-Variables to use a dynamic JSON-Feed-URL (“talk to API / webservice”)<br />
* much better and more flexible templateengine: twig<br />
* create and use Custom Post Types<br />
* store Templates independent of pages<br />
* more Shortcode-Parameters<br />
* executing Shortcodes inside a template<br />
* more features…</p>
