Display JSON data from an api

PeppaPigKilla

Hi

I want to be able to display some data that is delivered in JSON format

I ideally would like to be able to create a category with several titles in each and eah of the titles will get dynamic data produced by the API I will be using. Has anyone made anything like this or know how to make this ?

Thank you

To add more to this.

This is the output of the API

Did you get any traction with this? I’m looking for similar solutions; Display fields from JSON formatted file.

You would need to create a module to do this…

You could take a look at the MMM-Rest… It doesnt have the ability to read json but could be modified. If you do modify it to accept json, please let me know as I am also looking for a way to do this.

@mortenbirkelund it would be easier to just write a new module for it… hacking something will probably not give you the results you want.

What is the address of the api?

@cowboysdude

Thanks, yes. Do you happen to know of a module that successfully loads data from a JSON file? Seems like such a simple thing to do.

and @mortenbirkelund
Thanks for the suggestion. I don’t have the skills to make this, yet.

Perhaps. I just guessed a the rest module could be a good starting point.

@looolz Where is the info coming from? What is the api address?

looolz

@cowboysdude There is no API. In this case it’s just shell scripts that write out JSON files. I could modify the shell script to write out the files anyhow I want.
