General
What is Ingestics?
Ingestics is a WordPress plugin that automates content ingestion from REST APIs and RSS feeds. It fetches data, transforms it with optional AI, and publishes it to your WordPress site. One plugin handles both API and RSS pipelines.
Is Ingestics free?
Yes. The Free edition includes 3 API providers and 2 RSS providers with manual fetching. Paid plans start at $49/year for scheduling, 10 providers, and additional features. See pricing →
Do I need coding skills to use Ingestics?
No. Ingestics has a guided setup wizard and visual field mapper. You configure API endpoints and RSS feeds through the WordPress admin interface. No PHP, JavaScript, or API knowledge is required for standard use cases.
Will Ingestics slow down my site?
No. Ingestics runs fetches via WP-Cron in the background. The plugin itself is lightweight – it does not load scripts or styles on the frontend unless you use the Elementor widget, Bricks element, or Gutenberg block.
Features
Can Ingestics fetch from any REST API?
Yes. Ingestics supports 7 authentication methods (none, API key, bearer, basic, OAuth2 client credentials, OAuth2 authorization code, AWS SigV4) and 6 response formats (JSON, XML, RSS, CSV, HTML, text). If an API returns a standard format, Ingestics can fetch it.
Can Ingestics import RSS feeds?
Yes. Ingestics supports RSS 2.0 and Atom feeds with auto-discovery, full-text extraction, provider health monitoring, OPML import/export, and a moderation queue. RSS features are available from the Lite edition.
Does Ingestics support AI content transformation?
Yes. Ingestics integrates with 8 AI providers: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, DeepL, Google Translate, LibreTranslate, and Azure. You can rewrite content, translate to 30+ languages, and generate featured images. AI features are available from the Pro edition.
Can Ingestics create WooCommerce products?
Yes. The Business edition can map API response fields to WooCommerce products – including title, price, SKU, stock, gallery (up to 10 images), and terms. SKU matching for existing products is supported.
Security
How does Ingestics store API credentials?
All credentials are encrypted at rest using AES-256-CBC via OpenSSL. The encryption key is derived from WordPress AUTH_KEY and AUTH_SALT. Credentials are never stored in plaintext.
Does Ingestics protect against SSRF attacks?
Yes. Ingestics includes SSRF protection that blocks requests to internal IP ranges (127.0.0.0/8, 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16, 169.254.0.0/16) and wildcard domains.
Are diagnostic logs masked?
Yes. Sensitive data in diagnostic logs is masked. API keys, tokens, and passwords are replaced with asterisks in all log output.
