Title: XML with api to wordpress Last modified: November 5, 2024 --- # XML with api to wordpress * [Goos Mante](https://wordpress.org/support/users/meganmante/) * (@meganmante) * [1 year, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-with-api-to-wordpress/) * Hello, I have the following problem. I would like to put the traffic information from our national provider on my site. I have already tried various plug-ins, but it didn’t work. I also tried chat GPT, but that doesn’t work either. Would anyone like to help me with it? The script is here, but I can’t get it to appear on the site now * [https://cris-admin.anwb.nl/export-api/v1/pqfeed/latest](https://cris-admin.anwb.nl/export-api/v1/pqfeed/latest) _[ private information removed by moderator] * Has anyone a solution * Regards * Goos - This topic was modified 1 year, 7 months ago by [Steven Stern (sterndata)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/). * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fxml-with-api-to-wordpress%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 39 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-with-api-to-wordpress/page/2/?output_format=md) [3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-with-api-to-wordpress/page/3/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-with-api-to-wordpress/page/2/?output_format=md) * [tarhe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obt28/) * (@obt28) * [1 year, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-with-api-to-wordpress/#post-18115467) * Hello [@meganmante](https://wordpress.org/support/users/meganmante/) * To be able to get the content from the above API you’ll need to develop a custom plugin that can query the XML API – [https://cris-admin.anwb.nl/export-api/v1/pqfeed/latest](https://cris-admin.anwb.nl/export-api/v1/pqfeed/latest) and the display the response via shortcode. * This can be typically done by consulting a WordPress developer. To help you get started if it’s something you’d like to do yourself you can work with the sample plugin below as a start point. The plugin is currently working when i tested it, your API key is already added to the plugin code * Save the above code as a PHP file e.g., `anwb-traffic-info.php` inside your plugins directory. then enable the `anwb-traffic-info` plugin. * Once it’s enabled, add the shortcode `[anwb_traffic_info]` to any page or post where you want the traffic data to appear. Please ensure you work further on the plugin to improve the functionality before using it on a production site. * ```wp-block-code [ 'x-api-key' => $api_key ] ]); if (is_wp_error($response)) { return 'Error retrieving traffic data: ' . $response->get_error_message(); } $xml_data = wp_remote_retrieve_body($response); // Check if we have data if (empty($xml_data)) { return 'No data received from the API.'; } // Parse the XML response $xml = simplexml_load_string($xml_data); if (!$xml) { return 'Error parsing traffic data.'; } // Start output buffer to capture HTML content ob_start(); echo '
'; foreach ($xml->Sections->Section->Messages->Message as $message) { echo '
'; // Dynamically get and display each field foreach ($message as $key => $value) { // Skip empty fields if (!empty($value)) { echo '' . esc_html($key) . ': ' . esc_html($value) . '
'; } } echo '
'; } echo '
'; // Get buffer contents and clean buffer $output = ob_get_clean(); // Cache the output for future requests set_transient($cache_key, $output, $cache_expiration); return $output;}// Register a shortcode to display the data on any page/postadd_shortcode('anwb_traffic_info', 'fetch_and_display_anwb_traffic_info'); ``` - This reply was modified 1 year, 7 months ago by [tarhe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obt28/). - This reply was modified 1 year, 7 months ago by [tarhe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obt28/). - This reply was modified 1 year, 7 months ago by [tarhe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obt28/). - This reply was modified 1 year, 7 months ago by [tarhe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obt28/). - This reply was modified 1 year, 7 months ago by [Steven Stern (sterndata)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sterndata/). * Thread Starter [Goos Mante](https://wordpress.org/support/users/meganmante/) * (@meganmante) * [1 year, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-with-api-to-wordpress/#post-18115602) * Hi * I am not so good with php was wondering if you could help me out on this * Goos * [tarhe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obt28/) * (@obt28) * [1 year, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-with-api-to-wordpress/#post-18115676) * Hi [@meganmante](https://wordpress.org/support/users/meganmante/) * We’re unable to help further than this but for now the plugin above should work 90% to output the response from the above API when you install the plugin add the shortcode `[anwb_traffic_info]` to any page or post where you want the traffic data to appear. * You’re welcome to reach out to a developer to help expand the functionality further, just wanted to demonstrate how you can make it work. * Thread Starter [Goos Mante](https://wordpress.org/support/users/meganmante/) * (@meganmante) * [1 year, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-with-api-to-wordpress/#post-18115679) * Ok i see .

You can download the new modified plugin [here](https://toffeeshare.com/c/4flQvABARm) that will display the `FullText` field only. You just need to update the previous plugin with this new version to see only the `FullText` field on the response. - This reply was modified 1 year, 7 months ago by [tarhe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obt28/). - This reply was modified 1 year, 7 months ago by [tarhe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obt28/). * Thread Starter [Goos Mante](https://wordpress.org/support/users/meganmante/) * (@meganmante) * [1 year, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-with-api-to-wordpress/#post-18116398) * must i use [FullText] * [tarhe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/obt28/) * (@obt28) * [1 year, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xml-with-api-to-wordpress/#post-18116408) * Yes, since the XML data from the API contains a `` field that includes the primary information you want to display, then accessing `$message->FullText` is the way to go.
