 * Hello [@all](https://wordpress.org/support/users/all/),
 * I am very new to this forum and also new to wordpress development.
    For a project
   I need to integrate data from an external resource into wordpress.
 * Scenario:
    – WP implementation that provides views and social media aspects –
   external database with thousands of assets
 * Goal:
    – all database assets should be shown in wordpress – all social media 
   features (comments, likes, …) should work with asstes
 * Approach:
    – Import all assets into wordpress posts table – sync/connect from
   wordpress to external db – something else?
 * What do you think is the best way to do this?
 * Thank you so much,
    Matthias

 * Hi Matthias,
 * I am creating a new WP site and also want to pull data from outside. Did you 
   make any progress with this? Thanks!
