4. πŸ“Š Pulling Membership Data for Analytics (Example)

Example: You are running an online learning platform, and you want to see how many users have signed up for different membership tiers each month. Instead of manually downloading data from WordPress, you decide to automate this process using the API.

How it works:

  • A GET request is made to the MemberPress API, retrieving membership data such as new signups, membership levels, and active subscriptions.
  • This data is then imported into an external analytics platform, such as Google Data Studio, where it can be visualized in charts and dashboards.

Metaphor: Imagine you are running a cafΓ©, and every day, you want to check how many customers ordered different types of coffee. Instead of manually counting receipts at the end of the day, you have an automated system (API) that sends you a report with all the details so you can see the trends immediately on a dashboard.
