Custom field from a third party API

Jerome Wilson asked on March 7, 2019 14:16

Hi,

We're currently using a basic repeater with a custom filter to display a paged list of properties based on a handful of search criteria. This is working well but we now have a requirement to lookup a price for each property at runtime (the search criteria affects the price) and display that along with the data we're storing currently.

I was wondering if anyone would be able to set out for me how best to approach this. I've got quite a bit of .NET experience but my Kentico experience is limited so I'm finding it quite challenging.

Thanks!

Explain your setup a bit more. Where your content is you're searching through: custom tables, page types, custom module classes or external data? Maybe a sample of some of your data as well.

Thanks for replying Brenden :) The content is contained in a set pages (of the same page type), all of which are under a single parent page. Most of this content is generated by an executable which queries an API on a schedule, however, the price of each property, for the selected date and number of people, needs to be queried from the API at runtime, one call per property displayed.

I guess maybe I need to create a custom data source web part, or possibly even implement a custom module?
