Fetching JSON data from external API to use in a looper

[edevita]

I’m wondering if there is any mechanism in place to be able to fetch external API data from 3rd party sources to get the JSON data for a looper. Or, if you might be able to point me in the right direction of how to tag any incoming data so that a looper consumer would see it as if it were JSON data coming from a looper provider.

Hi @edevita,

Thanks for reaching out.

Unfortunately, there is no such option to use the external data API directly in the Looper Provider. But you can create a Custom Looper and use the data API in the custom looper function and return to the Looper Provider. And can also use the Looper API for the same purposes. I would suggest you go through the following documentation.

Looper API | Themeco Docs

Loopers | Themeco Docs

Hope it helps.
Thanks
