    I am working on a project that needs to pull data from: api.heroesofnewerth.com/player_statistics/all/nickname/testor3/?token=yourtoken

    I am needing to post the results from the data into an individual page on wordpress. Any help would be much appreciated

    Thanks

  • This plugin is not relevant for that use case. In your case, you can use cURL, or one of WordPress’s helper functions wp_remote_get to fetch the remote data.

    Please bear in mind, that remote requests like this are risky. What happens if api.heroesofnewerth.com goes down? What happens if it takes 5+ seconds to load a response?

    For that reason, I recommend using caching where possible, and if not possible, at least extracting the fetch to an asynchronous call (either via AJAX, or a CRON that caches the data locally)
