Please ensure that your API meets these requirements before using the Custom Post Import plugin.
REST API’s
WPGetAPI and the Custom Post Import plugin will only work with REST API’s (sometimes called RESTful API). Reading your API’s documentation will tell you whether or not it is a REST API.
JSON Format
The Custom Post Import plugin currently only supports returning data in JSON format. If you require using XML format, please contact us and it will give us the hurry-up to implement this feature.
Single Endpoint
The Custom Post Import plugin can only import data from a single endpoint, so all of the data for your posts need to be contained within a single endpoint.
The plugin does not have the capability to join endpoints or to import some parts of 1 endpoint and some parts of another endpoint.
Authorisation
To authorise your API you can use standard techniques such as API key in headers or in query string, base64 encoding as well as username:password combo in POST fields. The Custom Post Import plugin is also compatible with our OAuth 2.0 plugin to allow the use of OAuth 2.0 authorisation.
If you are wondering whether or not your API is suitable please open a pre-sales support ticket and we can advise if it will work.
