 * Hi Berkux,
 * This plugin looks impressive. I have a scenario and I was hoping you could clarify
   whether your plugin has the functionality to pull it off. Essentially I need 
   to populate a sports ‘Live Scores’ leaderboard. The theme I am using has a scoreboard
   feature that gets populated by Posts. Unfortunately it is not much of a ‘live
   scoring’ solution since someone has to update the post every time there is a 
   score, and there is a post for each game!
 * I have access to a sports data API JSON feed that I can hit every minute. Does
   this plugin have the ability to create a post for each game and then update the
   individual game posts as scores happen and the API changes?
 * Hope you can clarify this for me. Thanks very much!

 * Hi David,
 * fetching live sport data was the initial need I had when starting this plugin.
   
   But I think creating a post for each new event is a “not so good idea”. Therefore
   my approach is different: The plugin fetches the API-JSON, converts it into HTML
   and shows this HTML in WordPress. Without modifying something in WordPress like
   creating posts or something. If you really want / need to import data nad ctreate
   something WPAllImport-Plugin might help.
