We going to create a shortcode and add api data in our shortcode and then we can use the shortcode anywhere in our site. So Lets start.
Step1: Go to the functions.php file in your child theme.
Step2. Add this code in your functions.php file
add_shortcode(‘api_data_fetch’,’api_data_code’);
function api_data_code()
{
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt_array($curl, [

],
]);
$response = curl_exec($curl);
$err = curl_error($curl);
curl_close($curl);
$data = json_decode($response);
$entries = $data->results[0]->series;
//print_r($entries);
foreach ($entries as $value) {
