Try DataStream — Live Demo

Try the real thing, in this tab.

This opens an actual WordPress — running in your browser via WebAssembly — with DataStream already installed. Networking is on, so the Connect Wizard genuinely fetches real APIs: paste an address, or pick a fun one from the gallery, and watch it find the records, the fields, and the pages.

Two minutes, no instructions needed.

1 · Paste an address

The dashboard opens on the Connect Wizard. Pick “cat facts” from the gallery — or paste any public API you like — and watch the evidence appear: “Found 20 records. ‘id’ is unique — using it.”

2 · Put it on a page

One click makes a draft page with the data already on it. Open it, switch the template, add searchable="1" — everything on the display side works exactly as it does in production.

3 · Break something

Paste a wrong address on purpose. The errors are the real errors — “the address answered with ‘not found’ — check for typos” — because teaching calmly through failure is most of the product.

What this demo is, exactly

It is the complete free plugin — the same zip you can download — installed into WordPress Playground, which runs WordPress itself inside your browser tab. Nothing you do here touches a server of mine; refresh the tab and it all resets.

Two limits worth knowing. Playground routes API requests through its own proxy, so a small number of APIs refuse it — if one does, that is the sandbox, not the plugin. And scheduled re-syncs only tick while the tab is open, so “keeps it fresh forever” is the one promise this demo cannot show you; on a real site that part is just WordPress cron doing its job.

First load downloads WordPress (~10 MB) — give it a moment.
