URL/API Source - Fetch live data and display it on screen! v0.0.7

The URL/API Source plugin adds a video source that fetches data from a URL or API endpoint and displays it as customizable text (using CSS). You can parse JSON, XML and also plain text response with a Regex to get just the information you need. Set up a timer to keep refreshing the data to get that live feed effect.

If this plugin has been valuable to you consider adding a to the GH repo, rating it here on OBS, subscribing to my YouTube channel, and supporting my work: https://github.com/sponsors/royshil
