Dynamic content with a static site generator? Yes it is possible!

In addition to the [data files](/extras/datafiles/) feature, we have also
implemented the feature "Dynamic Content", which lets you load
any [JSON](http://www.json.org/) or
[CSV](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comma-separated_values) file
from nearly any resource.
"Dynamic Content" consists at the moment of two functions `getJson`
and `getCsv` which are available in **all template files**.

At the moment you can only use those authentication methods which can
be put into an URL. OAuth or other stuff is not implemented.

you have disabled the cache Hugo will re-download the content.
This can creates a huge traffic and also you may reach API limits quickly.
