Adding licence key

  • Enter your licence key(s) and press Save Changes.

Step 2: Add your API

Fill in the details for the API that you are using and then hit Save.

After hitting save, a new tab will be created for the API you have just setup. In this case we are using the ASOS tab.


Step 3: Add endpoint details

The next step is to click into the newly created ASOS tab and fill in the endpoint details. After that, hit the Save button.


Step 4: Test the endpoint

After saving the endpoint, you can now click the ‘Test Endpoint’ button to see what your API is returning.


Step 5: Using on the front-end

At the top of each endpoint, you will see the Template Tag and the Shortcode for that endpoint.

You can copy and paste either of these into the appropriate place on the front-end of your website. It could be a post, a page or a theme file.

Now each time a user visits that post or page, the endpoint will be called and data will either be sent to the API or data will be returned from the API, depending how you have it set up.
