WordPress Developer Needed for Automated IPO GMP System (API Integration)

## Project Overview I run a WordPress-based news website, **Malik Times (https://maliktimes.in/)**, hosted on shared hosting (cPanel). I am looking for an experienced WordPress developer to build an automated IPO GMP (Grey Market Premium) section for my website. The goal is to minimize manual work by integrating a GMP API and automatically displaying and updating IPO-related data on the website. ## Scope of Work ### 1. API Integration * Integrate a suitable IPO GMP API (preferably IPO Guru API or another reliable API). * Configure the API key from the WordPress admin panel. * Ensure the system works within API rate limits. * Handle API failures gracefully. ### 2. Automatic Data Updates * Set up Cron Jobs on cPanel/shared hosting. * Automatically fetch and update data at scheduled intervals (e.g., every 30–60 minutes). * Update existing IPO information without manual intervention. ### 3. IPO GMP Main Page Create a main page that displays: * IPO Name * GMP (Grey Market Premium) * Kostak Rate * Subject to Sauda * Price Band * Lot Size * Subscription Status * Open Date * Close Date * Listing Date * Last Updated Time The table should be: * Mobile responsive * Fast loading * SEO-friendly * Searchable and sortable ### 4. Dynamic IPO Detail Pages Automatically create SEO-friendly pages for individual IPOs, such as: * /hdb-financial-ipo-gmp/ * /nsdl-ipo-gmp/ * /company-name-ipo-gmp/ Each page should automatically display the latest API data. ### 5. Auto-Create New IPO Pages * Detect new IPOs from the API. * Automatically create WordPress posts/pages for new IPOs. * Prevent duplicate posts. ### 6. WordPress Admin Features Provide an admin settings page where I can: * Add/change the API key. * Enable or disable automatic updates. * Manually trigger data synchronization. * View the last synchronization status. ### 7. Shortcodes Create shortcodes such as: * [ipo_gmp_table] – Main GMP table * [ipo_gmp_single] – Individual IPO data display These shortcodes should work with any theme. ### 8. SEO Requirements * SEO-friendly URLs. * Compatible with Yoast SEO and Rank Math. * Ability to edit titles and meta descriptions. * Add structured data/schema where appropriate. * Fast page speed and optimized queries. ### 9. Technical Requirements * Must work on shared hosting (cPanel). * WordPress coding standards should be followed. * Deliver as a custom plugin (not theme-dependent). * No dependency on paid plugins unless discussed beforehand. * Proper error handling and logging. ### Deliverables * Fully functional custom WordPress plugin. * Installation and configuration support. * Documentation explaining: * How to change the API key. * How cron jobs work. * How to manage the system. * Source code with ownership transferred to me. ## Preferred Experience Please apply only if you have experience with: * WordPress plugin development * External API integrations * Cron jobs * Custom Post Types * WordPress shortcodes * SEO-friendly WordPress development ## Proposal Requirements Please include: 1. Similar WordPress/API projects you have completed. 2. Your estimated timeline. 3. Your total fixed-price quote. 4. The API you recommend for this project and why. ## Budget Please share your fixed-price proposal based on the complete scope above. Website: https://maliktimes.in/ Hosting: Shared Hosting (cPanel)
