It depends whether the site populating data has requirements for the rest API. Do you manage the data source? You could make an open endpoint. However, I have done something in this line with Woocommerce th-cam.com/video/FGqydIm4tN8/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/WSXKPVjgik8/w-d-xo.html

Yes, you can use this from any API and list your commodities. However, Woocommerce it’s self has a REST API that can be called in any application but with a short coming of not being able to pay for the goods using that API. See: docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-rest-api/ WooGraphQL plugin solves that.

I get a 502 error whenever I try and activate my 'external-api-shortcode' plugin. Is this supposed to be its own plugin? I guess I am confused since you never talked about where external-api-shortcode came from and didn't mention anything about query-api from last video. If you could help me I would appreciate it!
Sorry about that. A 502 Bad Gateway Error means that the web server you've connected to is acting as a proxy for relaying information from another server, but it has gotten a bad response from that other server. It’s not your issue. It’s the API. In the video description, I make mention of the code for the previous code with a link.
Depending on the API implementation, some require you add your details to the header or body. I am working on something similar soon. However, you can see something similar with Woocommerce th-cam.com/video/FGqydIm4tN8/w-d-xo.html and this too th-cam.com/video/UZZzn7euTgM/w-d-xo.html the implementations are different but effective in most APIs

Hi, The error message is not so clear. It is also hard for me to tell since I don’t have the API documentation to trouble shoot.

Use a tool like Make.com and their woocommerce modules especially to call the API and add new products into your WordPress.

This is a lengthy challenge, one you would hire a dev with knowledge of how to if you are time barred.

Very nice content @TechiePress thank you much for this. I have a question, please can you explain how to use a custom PHP file as a template that will render the $html variable you used in your tutorial?
That’s a nice question. I hope I can make time to show this in a real task.
God bless you bro, please is it possible to fetch data from API and afterwards integrating payment with it e.g assuming the above fetched data are register users approved for payment, how can I integrate a paystack or quickteller payment gateway? Do I install a plugin or code it in my custom plugin? Please I need response soonest. Thanks in anticipation

Is is possible to create a customer theme with a custom plugin and also be able to install pre made plugins on WordPress? Or there are standards to follow, thanks you
Yes you can. Look at this tgmpluginactivation.com/. It the best approach I know of to help you with that challenge
@@TechiePress ok thank you so much , here is my email: abbey.paul55@gmail.com pls I would like to be in touch
I get a 502 error whenever I try and activate my 'external-api-shortcode' plugin. Is this supposed to be its own plugin? I guess I am confused since you never talked about where external-api-shortcode came from and didn't mention anything about query-api from last video. If you could help me I would appreciate it!
Sorry about that. A 502 Bad Gateway Error means that the web server you've connected to is acting as a proxy for relaying information from another server, but it has gotten a bad response from that other server. It’s not your issue. It’s the API. In the video description, I make mention of the code for the previous code with a link.
@@TechiePress I deleted everything in the file and redid it and now it is working. Thank you so much for this tutorial it's extremely helpful!
Can you show me how to queried external API, if the link of API used auth to fill username and password??
Depending on the API implementation, some require you add your details to the header or body. I am working on something similar soon. However, you can see something similar with Woocommerce th-cam.com/video/FGqydIm4tN8/w-d-xo.html and this too th-cam.com/video/UZZzn7euTgM/w-d-xo.html the implementations are different but effective in most APIs
@@TechiePress thank you vm... i'll be waiting you're video cuz i always get some error on that...

Hello. i am using POST method and getting error string(171) "{"response":{"status_code":300,"status":"failed","message":"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."},"Message":null,"ObjectResponse":null,"DataObject":null}". please help i am new to API world ;-)
Hi, The error message is not so clear. It is also hard for me to tell since I don’t have the API documentation to trouble shoot. Seems like you have sent the wrong data type to the API from the little I can tell. If you are Posting data you might need to look at this th-cam.com/video/_UurgJqlTw8/w-d-xo.html
why my table dont appear in front end?
Something is broken in your code. First add a simple static table then add the dynamic work.
Thanks for good tutorial, where can i download the script itself?
Thanks for watching. The link is in the description. Download the code from github.com/YTTechiePress/query-apis
Thank you so much for your videos, they are very helpful. I am new in wordpress and with this video i think i have almost done what i was looking for. Do you know how can i call the short code api with a button passing a parameter instead of calling all the time when page is refreshed?. Eg : i have an api of restaurants, but i do not want to display all, i just want to call api according to input in restaurant id and call api according to this restaurant id for then getting this into a javascript object. I would be very thank you if you can point me to right direction. Regards.
Hello Nilton, I am glad the video helped. Do you want to use the button on the front end or the admin area? Do you want to add an input field ?
@@TechiePress on the front end , so the user can use the api with his input :). Thanks again. Yes i want to add input field and this would become a parameter to call api when pressing button.
This would require to use WP Ajax that incorporates JavaScript. Then an API request can be sent.
There is a simple implementation here stackoverflow.com/a/52352365

@@TechiePress I don't get to find the plugin Query APIs
Hey man very well explained! I'm currently working on a project using the wp_remote_get method to fetch data from an external source (not a static json file). Everything works great. What i was wondering is how can i schedule the request (or trigger it when the data from the external source changes) to happen let's just say 3 times a day since the data that i'm fetching from the external source are changing within the day? If you have any suggestions or you can point me to any direction i would really appreciated. Thank you very much!
hi FK. I am also working on a project like yours. could you share the Code would be a great help as I am getting issues with my code and a very beginner? Thanks.
