        @Baxer An API (and client) give you a way to ask for information; it doesn’t stipulate what information to request, or how to display it. However, you could use MagicMirror-Module-Template then run npm install --save open-shl within your module folder to install open-shl.

        You would then add the code featured here to load the API and start querying data. I recommend loading the API in your node_helper.js and passing back the data to display via this.sendSocketNotification(notification, payload).

        Problem with config or JavaScript? Copy/paste it into JSHint.
        Check out the detailed walkthroughs on install, config, modules, etc.
