| Mar 5, 2019 at 19:17 | comment | added | rjacobsen0 | I ended up taking a different approach. I modified the node and saved it (this will eventually happen on cron). | |

It really depends on what you want to achieve. Sure you could build a custom field formatter to fetch data from an external API field by field and node by node and render that according your needs. But what about caching then? Maybe have a look at hook_cron and Batch operations. With that you can build something to fetch your data and then update nodes accordingly. Node cache will automatically get rebuild on node updates.

| Mar 5, 2019 at 16:20 | comment | added | rjacobsen0 | Oh. Ha! Yep. That's probably just what I was looking for. Thanks! I'm still new to Drupal. Would a custom field formatter be better? | |
| Mar 5, 2019 at 16:09 | comment | added | leymannx | Though if I follow your thoughts a little bit further, you may actually be looking for some API approach to really update existing data, instead of just overriding/preprocessing the existing data, no? | |

I don't get it. You mean like with MYMODULE_preproccess_field__body(&$variables)?
