How would I go about loading in data from a non GitHub URL?

[AmnestyAM]

hello everyone,

Are there any tickets open for how would I go about loading in data from a non GitHub URL? Sorry if there are discussions tickets as I don't know the right things to search for I probably cant see them.

Is there info on this proxy and how it works https://github-proxy.com/

Can anyone point me in the right direction for reading tickets, documentation or terms I should Google if I wanted to get my own files into playground that were not in the WP repos or GitHub.

PS we are using playground for our demos :-) https://github.com/amnestywebsite/humanity-blueprint thanks :-)

@AmnestyAM sure thing! Here's a few examples that may get you started:

You may generally load files from custom URLs using the URL resource. For example:

{
	"steps": [
		{
			"step": "installPlugin",
			"pluginData": {
				"resource": "url",
				"url": "https://your-site.com/your-plugin.zip"
			}
		},
		{
			"step": "installTheme",
			"themeData": {
				"resource": "url",
				"url": "https://your-site.com/your-theme.zip"
			}
		},
		{
			"step": "importWxr",
			"file": {
				"resource": "url",
				"url": "https://your-site.com/starter-content.wxr"
			}
		},
		{
			"step": "setSiteOptions",
			"options": {
				"some_required_option_1": "your_favorite_values",
				"some_required_option_2": "your_favorite_values"
			}
		}
	]
}

Is that helpful? Or not quite what you meant?
