up vote 5 down vote May be useful psp(python) example: <%psp import urllib2; import simplejson as json; /api/2/BTCUSD/money/ticker").read()); %> <%=str(j["data"]["last"]["value"]) %> Or one command line: # //api/2/BTCUSD/money/ticker").read()); print str(j["data"]["last"]["value"]);' up vote 3 down vote Here is an example that retrieves the current current values from the json stream at mtgox (current, low, average, last, and now).

It is written in python, but should be very easy to port it over to the language of your choice.#/spudstud/alfred-bitcoin-workflow #json is the standard python json parser #urllib2 is a webpage fetching library import json import urllib2 #The url that provides the raw json stream /api/2/BTCUSD/money/ticker" #Open the url and turn it into an string containing the json jsonURL=urllib2.urlopen(url) #Convert the json text into a json object jsonObject=json.load(jsonURL) #Parse the desired values out of the json object currentValue = jsonObject['data']['high']['display'] lowValue = jsonObject['data']['low']['display'] avgValue = jsonObject['data']['avg']['display'] lastValue = jsonObject['data']['last']['display'] nowValue = jsonObject['data']['now'] #Sometimes your json is not a string,you will need to use json.load, not json.loads: print jsonObject print currentValue print lowValue print avgValue print lastValue print nowValue up vote 3 down vote Since Mt.bitcoin gtx 1070

Gox is down and the market is split, I would suggest using blockchain.info's API.I believe they combine different current market prices to make one average price.litecoin coinbase newsThis is much more reliable than trusting one market only (see what happened to Mt.boutique du bitcoinAlso blockchain.info is a generally well trusted site.boston bitcoin conferenceTo load the information in PHP use the file_get_contents() and json_decode() functions.ethereum smart investmentMost of these functions are available in other high-end programming languages.bitcoin horse racingup vote 1 down vote An older, maybe somewhat wiser me, answering my own question: Here's some PHP to get the exchange rate.

I eventually found it easiest to do in javascript, since you're going to want to display the price as well.Anywhere you have an element with `class="price", this will add the mBTC equivalent next to it.Tweak to your liking.$(document).ready(function(){ $./api/rates', function(data){ var rate = data[0].rate; $(".price").each(function(i){ var tex = $(this).text(); var usdPrice = Number(tex.replace(/[^0-9.-]+/g,"")); var mbtcPrice = 1000*usdPrice/rate; $(this).append("( ~" + String(mbtcPrice.toFixed(0))+ " mBTC)"); }); }); }); up vote 0 down vote Hey I know this thread is 3 years old but anyway I used some of the code on this page to do my script because i couldn't make the code here to work... import json import urllib2 /v1/bpi/currentprice/EUR.json" jsonURL=urllib2.urlopen(url) jsonObject=json.load(jsonURL) print jsonObject['bpi']['USD']['code'] print jsonObject['bpi']['USD']['rate'] Hope this will help future visitors.
