Coding Help?

[coopaman]

I want to be able to display the information from a remote url:-

https://api.kixeye.com/api/v2/online-player-count

{
"totalPlayersOnline": 98688
}

Inside a Module but formatted with html to look like this

http://prntscr.com/4ze7ur

I've been reading various articles and not really sure were to start, can anyone point me in the right direction?

get value from your url and display in one module. You should build one module to display.

[pe7er]

Create a Module and use curl or allow_url_fopen to retrieve the page,
and use json_decode to convert the JSON style data to a variable that you display on the screen.
http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-decode.php

I used that to retrieve more complex JSON data in a Joomla 3 module, see: https://github.com/pe7er/db8kivateam
