Dynamic search API call

    Hello,

    I have two requests for help. We recently installed the Free version of the JSON content importer plugin and have been able to copy the example of calling the wikipedia API and see the return results within our wordpress site.

    First request – how can we make the API call dynamic, so that a user can enter a search term on our WordPress page and then the page can use that search term as part of the URL call within the JSON content importer plugin?

    Second request – when we call other APIs within our environment, we are getting no results returned. I think this is because the API calls are expecting a user authentication authorizing the user to make the call to the API. Since the authentication is not working, I believe that the plugin receives no result set back. How can we configure the API call to pass the user’s login credentials as part of the call?

    Thank you for your help.
    Sean

    Hi Sean,

    <<how can we make the API call dynamic, so that a user can enter a search term on our WordPress page and then the page can use that search term as part of the URL call within the JSON content importer plugin?>>
    This is a pro plugin feature, e. g.
    http://api.json-content-importer.com/api-meetup-com-search/

    The free plugin can work with some authenaticaions, the pro plugin can do almost all authentications.

    As here only the free plugin is supported: Switch to this, please:
