I´m looking for a Wordpress Plugin in order to retrieve data from external api´s and display this data in posts / on wordpress pages. I googled a lot, but haven´t found yet a plugin to do this. Can anyone recommend such a plugin? Any hints are appreciated.
Go to the Connect To External API tab in the plugin to connect the External/third-party provider's API endpoints to WordPress. Select the GET method from the Select Method dropdown. In the External API textbox, put the API endpoint that you want to connect it with WordPress.
WordPress REST API aims to provide a built-in API that can be integrated with themes, mobile applications, and more. It lets WordPress to interact with any application, and developers can even use it to build their own APIs.
Accessing all of your site data via the REST API is as simple as composing a URL. For any WordPress site running at least version 4.7, add the following string to the end of your site's url: /wp-json/wp/v2 (e.g., http://example.com/wp-json/wp/v2 ). Put that URL in your browser, and see what comes up.
Get an API key for the API. Create a Plugin for adding a widget to your WordPress site. Customize your plugin with your API key and specific information you want to display in the widget. Use the WordPress Admin Area to place the widget on your site where you want it within your theme.
Usually there will be no plugin available for API. It's totally depend on what type of API you are using. Many API provides the document tutorial which will clearly give, how to pull data, edit, display on the page etc. Also, you have not specified the API which you are using. We request you to please share the API link. Meanwhile, you could give a try with the following example.
$url = "http://api.crunchbase.com/v/1/company/audible-coffee.js?
api_key=API_KEY&callback=?";
$jsondata = file_get_contents($url);
$obj = json_decode($jsondata);
Or
$url="https:/zyz.com/GetJobPackage&jobidABRASIruWl;
$content = file_get_contents($url);
$array = json_decode(json_encode((array)simplexml_load_string($content)),1);
echo '<pre>';
echo print_r($array);
Something like you can try it. Please share your API link, then we can or anyone can help you. Thanks
