Live Data Display for WordPress

Live Data Display is a powerful WordPress plugin that loads JSON feeds via HTTP and displays live-updating values on your site — with no page reload required. Perfect for live tickers, stock prices, sports results, weather data, sensor readings, and any other real-time data source.

Key Features:

Multiple independent slots: Configure as many data slots as you need, each with its own API URL, refresh interval, and display target.

Shortcode and Gutenberg block: Place data anywhere with [araa slot="slot_1"] or the built-in block.

Auto-refresh: Each slot refreshes independently at a configurable interval (minimum 500 ms).

Server-side initial value: For slots with a refresh interval ≥ 10 s the initial value is pre-rendered server-side and cached, so visitors see data immediately — no flash of empty content.

Proxy for cross-origin APIs: Optional server-side proxy (admin-ajax or REST API) fetches external URLs from the server, bypassing browser CORS restrictions.

Customisable GET parameters: Use #GET_key# placeholders in the API URL to pass the current page’s GET parameters to the remote API.

Prefix / Suffix: Wrap every displayed value with configurable text (e.g. currency symbol, unit).

Error text: Show a custom fallback message when the API request fails or the JSON path is not found.

Page-visibility aware: Slots pause polling while the browser tab is hidden and resume immediately when it becomes visible again.

Active / Inactive toggle: Enable or disable individual slots without deleting their configuration.
