Certainly! Here’s an example of a WordPress plugin that calls an API and displays its content:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: API Content Display
Plugin URI: https://www.example.com
Description: A WordPress plugin to call an API and display its content.
Version: 1.0
Author: Your Name
Author URI: https://www.example.com
License: GPLv2 or later
*/

// Register a shortcode to display the API content
add_shortcode('api_content', 'display_api_content');

function display_api_content($atts) {
    // API endpoint URL
    $api_url = 'https://api.example.com/data';

    // Make the API request
    $response = wp_remote_get($api_url);

    // Check if the API request was successful
    if (is_wp_error($response) || wp_remote_retrieve_response_code($response) !== 200) {
        return 'Failed to retrieve API data.';
    }

    // Get the API response body
    $data = wp_remote_retrieve_body($response);

    // Decode the JSON response
    $decoded_data = json_decode($data, true);

    // Display the API content
    $content = '';

    if ($decoded_data && is_array($decoded_data)) {
        foreach ($decoded_data as $item) {
            $content .= '<div>';
            $content .= '<h2>' . esc_html($item['title']) . '</h2>';
            $content .= '<p>' . esc_html($item['description']) . '</p>';
            $content .= '</div>';
        }
    }

    return $content;
}

Here’s how to use the plugin:

  1. Create a new directory in the wp-content/plugins directory of your WordPress installation and name it api-content-display.
  2. Create a new PHP file in the api-content-display directory and name it api-content-display.php.
  3. Copy and paste the above code into the api-content-display.php file.
  4. Save the file.
  5. Activate the plugin from the WordPress admin panel.
  6. Now you can use the [api_content] shortcode in your WordPress posts or pages to display the content from the API.

For example, you can create a new post or page and use the shortcode like this:

[api_content]

When the post or page is viewed, the plugin will make a request to the specified API endpoint, retrieve the content, and display it in the post or page.

Please note that this is a basic example, and you may need to modify it based on your specific API requirements.
