<p>This plugin combines the two of the best WordPress plugins: <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/" title="Advanced Custom Fields" rel="ugc">Advanced Custom Fields</a> and <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/json-rest-api/" title="WP REST API" rel="ugc">WP REST API</a>.</p>
<p>This plugin is based on the work from<a href="https://github.com/PanManAms/WP-JSON-API-ACF" title="Panman on Github" rel="nofollow ugc">Panman on Github</a>. He was right when he said it would be better as plugin, but it would be even better if it would be available through the WordPress Plugin Repository.</p>
<p>An addition made to this plugin is that each ACF Field van be filtered throug the hook: JSON_META_ACFFIELDNAME (where ACFFIELDNAME depends on the fieldname you’ve added in the Advanced Custom Fields backend.)</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>

<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>


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
