How to best handle JSON feed data (from URL) into CPTs and templates with Bricks?

Hey all,

Per title, I have a project that involves a JSON feed as a data source via URL. Here is an example feed.

Seeking advice on how best to approach this using Bricks for a range of CPT and loop templates that are fed by the JSON data.

The major caveat is we also need to filter the imports. There is 1 JSON feed that will populate a handful of subsites on a multisite - each subsite represents an event location that should only publish JSON content for that location. The JSON has a field to specify location.

I found JCI Pro plugin but it seems unnecessarily complex to achieve the goal.

I’m wondering if it is possible through ACF Pro, directly through Bricks, a simpler JSON importer or even WP core. Maybe the filtering is better handled after the JSON is parsed anyway within the queries on each subsite…? Open to suggestions.

Any and all advice welcomed, I’m not sure where to begin or end! Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Tom

Update - now looking at WP All Import + ACF add-on to create scheduled imports from the JSON feed into a CPT.

Seems we can schedule imports with a CRON job once they are set up as desired, and I’m hopeful that WP All Import will be flexible enough with filtering to do what I outlined above.

Still keen on input from any folks who have experience in this regard! In particular if you have gone down this route, or if you know there is a neater or more straightforward method to get to the end result.
