Ideal user

pure REST API connection and displaying API data via shortcodes.
Ingestics is ideal for
Teams that need API + RSS + file ingestion in one controlled, auditable pipeline with preview and dedupe.
When WPGetAPI may be the better choice

Migration considerations
Moving to Ingestics is low-risk: connect your existing sources, map fields, and run in preview before publishing anything.
