Q: Fetching content from an external API and creating custom posts with custom fields and taxonomies
Can your tool fetch data from an external, third-party API and then periodically create custom posts with custom fields and taxonomies (for example set up in ACF or Meta Box)? The values of custom fields and taxonomies should be mapped from the data provided by the API. It should run automatically in specified intervals.
If this is possible, which extensions would be needed and is there a chance for a tutorial?
Thank you for your quick answer. How about mapping and assigning taxonomy terms based on API data? Will it be together with "meta field mutations" or is it already possible?
A: If there is demand from my customers, I could add support for it. (It would be done after some other more pressing integrations, such as WooCommerce)
Hi, I purchased 5 code for Gato GraphQL. Do i have to pay extra for the Premium extension: Polylang integration? I thought it is on the 5 code tier plan.
A: Hi, yes, Polylang is included in tier 5. Do you have the Polylang plugin install and activated? Only then will the corresponding fields be added to the schema. To find out, you can go to the Modules page of Gato GraphQL, and search for the "Polylang" module. If you don't have Polylang installed, that module will be disabled.
Hello, We run number of WP multi-directories and we have been trying to sync CURD operations between an internal Postgres DB that my team uses and these sites through REST API. So far it hasn't been easy to access all CPT fields especially those saved inside meta {}.
Would this tool allow me to do that out of the box? What plan tier and extensions do I need? This is very important project for us and my we are actively working on it.
A: Yes, it should be possible. Notice that meta mutations are not in the plugin yet, but I'll add it within a couple of weeks (it's on the roadmap for Q1).
Tier 1 should be enough for that use case, but I'd recommend tier 3, so you can also store the queries on the DB if you need to (check "Persisted Queries"), and also execute the queries via code, directly within the PHP application (Check...
Thanks for the quick reply. My usecase only involves one-way sync updates from DB (i.e., Supabase) to WP typically through APIs. It is not clear to me what persistent queries means or whether I do really need them.

Mar 6, 2025A: I'm currently working on meta field mutations, it should be ready in.a few weeks. Other than that, yes that's all possible right now.
You'll need the extensions from tier 3/4.
On the Gato GraphQL website there are multiple demos/guides, combining them you can satisfy your use case:

yes you can do that already, examples here:
https://gatographql.com/guides/query/custom-tags#creating-updating-and-deleting-a-custom-tag
https://gatographql.com/guides/query/custom-categories#creating-updating-and-deleting-a-custom-category
Btw, notice that there are no integrations with ACF/MetaBox currently, but still can mutate CPTs. Check:

Q: WPML integration planned?
I see that there is a Polylang integration available. Are there any plans for WPML as that is my tool of choice?

Q: multilanguage and and translation are not included correct ? only polylang
looks great but -- this would mean buying more licences on your site at the normal price ?
Leonardo_GatoGraphQL
Mar 3, 2025A: polylang is included in tiers 5/6, but translation is not.
I can give you a special price for translations, send me a message via the Contact form

Well, tier 1 should be enough then
Excellent! Please let me know when this feature is released. I'll grab tier 2 for increased limits
