Hi everyone, I'm a beginner in Word press and I'm trying to create a website that displays a dynamic list of products fetched from a REST API endpoint. Each product has fields such as name, price, description, image url to display and an external link. When users click on a particular product, they are redirected to the external link.

I want to also implement pagination.

I've explored tutorials which uses the WooCommerce plugin but they focus on manually adding products. I don't even know if i'd need to use the WooCommerce plugin at all. I want to seek guidance on the specific implementation steps, recommended plugins, themese or any helpful resources for creating this type of website.

The implementation is similar to most udemy coupon sites like this one: https://coursefolder.net/live-free-udemy-coupon.php

Thank you all in advance.

If you know PHP, check the wordpress codex on how to create a custom page.

On the custom page, use a http client like guzzle to make rest request to the API and then loop through the results and display them.

As for pagination, you can limit the number of items fetched per request and increment on a per page basis.

I just want to get the job done. Although, I'd prefer to use a plugin. I don't write PHP.

I've been following you here on this forum from day one. Love reading your posts, especially your diary. I'm not sure you've mentioned me before.

Thanks for the reply.

From a REST API endpoint. I have it already setup and running. It's returning a json array of products
