Hi Christophe,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Are you making reference that the external API will provide the custom post type information ?

I know that Types does not support interactions with an external API so this wouldn't work.

If its to maintain the list of posts in a CPT then you might be able to do this with a 3rd party plugin.

Thanks,
Shane
