(pre-sales) I’m studying the documentation. I know that the API Query builder is fairly new, but I don’t see anything about it in the documentation Introduction – Bricksforge Docs
Or, am I just missing something?
I ask because this will help to check off yet another one of my site requirements for being able to connect with multiple google sheets. There are other plugins, but most of them connect through THEIR google developer credentials and/or only right new rows.
I need full CRUD and patch even to previous written individual data fields of rows.
Hey Dave! I follow you on YT. In fact, it was two of your videos amongst others that opened my eyes to the API Query Builder capabilities. I want to be mindful and not ask “how to” questions as apposed to “is it possible” questions because I have yet to buy the plugin yet.
From your knowledge with it..
I see the returned data can be cached and have data tags applied. I can access / display the data on the site and NOT continuously keep hitting the API?
Is the data written to it’s own plain to read table in the DB?
I ask because some of the data will be sensitive and I don’t want this data just sitting in DB with no easy way to delete it.
This is why I was asking about the documentation so I wouldn’t have to ask these elementary questions. Is there more documentation accessible after paying for the plugin?
There is no official documentation yet, because it is still an experimental feature. As soon as it is released as a stable version, documentation will also be available.
Now, to your questions.
You can specify a particular time when the results should be loaded from the cache. Alternatively, you can choose to have the API fetch new data with every page load. If the data is retrieved from the cache, the API will not be used.
The data is never written to the WordPress database. If enabled, they are only cached. You can clear the cache in the backend with just one click.
The documentation is well presented, cheers. Though there is an issue with nested array dynamic tag generation, which I’ll submit to bug reports.
I wasn’t aware CPT Synchronization was a coming feature to the API Query Builder. Is there an ETA for when this feature will arrive, or is there an early build I can use? It’s exactly what my site needs right now.
It definitely will still take a few weeks for polishing. Before, unfortunately there is no alpha test phase. And, I will deploy the next version as beta first, as this CPT Sync functionality is a really big one
Just wanted to say thanks @Daniele. Have been examining it. Have a few questions, google sheets specific, gonna create a new forum topic. Just wanted to say thanks for the documentation.
