<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>

<a href="https://json-content-importer.com/compare/" rel="nofollow ugc">Compare: Free vs. JCI PRO Plugin</a></p>
<p>PRO features:<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>


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
