Hi - I was not sure how to title this post (cry for help). I will attempt to describe and show what we are looking for. We have our WIX site built already. We currently have 2 menu items: STANDINGS and TEAMS that we have to manually enter data into each week that we capture from an external website. Ultimately we would like to be able to have the data from the external website automatically update our WIX site when it is entered on the external website. Here are some screen shots for a example.
SCREEN SHOT FROM WIX SITE :

998×277 13.8 KB

SCREEN SHOT FROM EXTERNAL WEBSITE :

812×212 11.2 KB

The data from the EXTERNAL WEBSITE is entered after each game is complete by a scorekeeper into the EXTERNAL WEBSITE. We are trying to find a way to have our WIX site update automatically by connecting the EXTERNAL WEBSITE somehow to our WIX site.

I hope this is not confusing and makes sense. Thank you in advance.

This is a great question.
If your 3rd party website is exposing the information as JSON through a REST-ful API, you can tell your table to populate itself with fresh information every time the page loads using the Table.dataFetcher in the Velo documetation.

Thank you Chris for the quick reply. When i open the 3rd party page source and search for JSON and API here is what i find:

App_WebComponents/datatable/lang/en-US.json

$.fn.dataTable.tables({ visible: true, api: true }).columns.adjust();

is this what you are referring to?

Hey there, that isn’t exactly what you’re looking for. Try searching Google for the company’s name and then the words " Rest API" to find our if they have one available for your website to access
