Hi, William

Sorry for the delay

-

Our developers will be working on our API in the future, but I can't say an exact ETA on it.

You can certainly follow our changeLog page if you'd like ( it is also available in the plugin dashboard), where we state any changes/new features/bug fixes during updates;

and our newsletter, so you're informed about new features, bug fixes, freebies, etc.

-

At this moment, this is what you can do with our plugin:

1. If you link the table to a JSON file, this file has to have structure as we pointed out on this documentation. I will copy the important part here :

 Currently, wpDataTables accepts this, and only this format of JSON (see example on the docs page): 

a one-level array of same-structured objects where each object will be parsed as a row, and each field inside of the object as a cell.

2. If your JSON file has multiple levels, then you can  try our NESTED JSON method.

3. If you wish to use API, and to pull data from it,  then you will have to adapt it to PHP Array, and make a table linked to PHP Array.

-

And i just wanted to point out that you can try wpDataTables before purchasing

 on our sandbox Demo sites ( you can find links for the main plugin Demo,  

as well as add-on Demos, in my signature),

and there is a 15-day money-back guarantee period, 

so if you purchase the plugin, you can safely fully test it out, and if it doesn't fit your needs you can request and receive a refund in that period. ( same goes for all plugins and add-ons)

Let me know if you have any additional questions.
