Admin Guide: Data Import

TradePress should use stored data first and queue refreshes when data is missing or stale.

What Data Import Does

Data import is responsible for bringing provider data into WordPress storage so TradePress pages, scores, and status panels do not need to call providers directly during page loads.

Expected Behaviour

• Pages should read stored data.
• Missing or stale data should be queued for refresh.
• Provider failures should appear as warnings or failures, not silent demo data.
• Empty states should explain what is missing.

Common Empty States

State	Meaning
No Data	The feature is working but nothing has been imported yet.
Requires API Key	Provider credentials are missing or incomplete.
In Development	The live import path is not release-ready yet.
Coming Soon	The feature is intentionally unavailable for now.

What To Check

• Provider API key is configured.
• Provider supports the data type.
• Import or scheduled refresh has run.
• Feature health is not failed.
• The page is not showing developer-only demo output.

Reporting Import Problems

Include the page or tab name, provider, visible health status, error text, and whether the issue appears after manually refreshing or waiting for the next scheduled import.
