@hube2 first of all thanks a lot!!
and with a little more thinking I came up with this solution😅, not sure if it’s good but at least it works! also I would be happy if you could tell me they ways to improve it more.

function acf_json_ipm($json_acf_url_field, $acf_radio_field) {
        
        //Check if data field is set to Manual
        if (get_field($json_acf_url_field) == 'manual') {
            // Stop importing from JSON
            return;
        }
        
            //Make a request
            $json_request = wp_remote_get( $json_acf_url_field );
            if( is_wp_error( $json_request ) ) {
                return false; // Bail early
            }
            
            // Get JSON and Decode
            $json_body = wp_remote_retrieve_body( $json_request );
            $json_data = json_decode( $json_body );
           
            // Import values from JSON
            $values = array (
                
                'field_1234' => $json_data->value1, 
                'field_5678' => array (
                    'field_8901' => $json_data->value2, 
                    'field_2345' => $json_data->value3, 
                    'field_6789' => $json_data->value4 
                ),
                'field_0123' => $json_data->value5, 
            );

            //Update Group field and save1
            update_field('acf_group_field_key', $values);
            
            //Put the checkbox to manual
            update_field($acf_radio_field, 'manual');
       }

@hube2 Thanks for the answer!
I’ve tried to mess around with it and I was thinking about the part that you said how and where the JSON is stored and I came up with this:

$json_url = get_field('field_of_json_url', $post_id);
    
 $request = wp_remote_get( $json_url );
if( is_wp_error( $request ) ) {
        return false;
    }

    $contents = wp_remote_retrieve_body( $request );

but now the problem I have is where and how I have to put and run the code you gave me? I’ve tried a lot but nothing happened. I’ve event read the update_field() document over and over but couldn’t understand it. 🙁

@hube2 Thanks for the answer! I could understand somethings but still need to think more I guess.

Is it possible to give a really simple example since I’m still confused how to work with update_field with field keys.

something like this:
getting title and body data from here and then decode it and then putting it into the “title_field” and “body_field” fields when the publish button has been clicked.

also the answer that you said is it gonna be into a separate plugin for ACF or also can be used into theme files?

@flipty Well I came up with this solution that you can put JSON data into a field and then on theme file decode it and use it. (the decoded data won’t be in mysql) but I prefer to not put the JSON data directly because there would be lot of data that I won’t use it and also I prefer to put them into mysql as well.

Try using reset_rows(); after endwhile;

I think you’ll need to change some items; I’ve marked them with “CHANGE_THIS”.
class CHANGE_THIS extends WP_Widget

function __construct() {
    parent::__construct(
      'CHANGE_THIS', // Base ID
      __('CHANGE_THIS', 'domainname'), // Name
      array( 'description' => __( 'Email, phone, FB link', 'domainname' ), ) // Args
    );
  }

add_action( 'widgets_init', function(){
  register_widget( 'CHANGE_THIS' );
});
