URL/API Source - Fetch live data and display it on screen! - A Source to fetch data from an HTTP API endpoint and display it live on your screen.

The URL/API Source plugin adds a video source that fetches data from a URL or API endpoint and displays it as text. You can parse JSON, XML and also plain text 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.

Features:
  • HTTP request types: GET, POST
  • Request headers (for e.g. API Key or Auth token)
  • Request body for POST
  • Output parsing: JSON, XML/HTML and Regex
  • Update timer for live streaming data...

This is really cool!
If we could also enter text to include before and/or after the retrieved data it'd be absolutely perfect.

You could add a text source - but! your idea for a "template" in which you plug in the result - is perfect and I shall implement it!

This latest version is being detected as malware by windows.

yes that's a known problem with new projects that offer .exe installers
it takes time for the windows defender global index to "trust" this new application
it goes away after some time and after many people download and run the application.
the fees to register an app with MSFT are exorbitant and also don't resolve the above problem much faster.

Thanks for the plugin, it’s great!

I couldn’t figure out however how to use the Output Regex Formatter. I’m familiar with different styles of Regex but can’t seem to find the trick. Which style should I use?

To take an example, let’s say I fetch a string like `name - function` and that I’d want to only get the `name` part. I’d write the following Regex `.*(?=\s-\s)` but this does not work.

Thanks!

It's cool!
btw can we have an option for reading & watching a JSON/XML file on local disk? it's useful when cooperating with other local tools such as Ross Dashboard

First off: Neat plugin! Definitely something that I wanted for a while but would've needed to use a custom browser source with some JS in before haha

Now, I'm kinda curious.
My idea is to use this to fetch a StreamElements API endpoint to check the song request player status. That part should be easy.

However, I wonder if there's a way to show a text if the API output has specific data?
Say the endpoint returns
Code: 
{ "state": "paused" }
In this case I wouldn't want it to show any text at all.

However, if it were to return
Code: 
{ "state": "playing" }
I want it to show `Playing Requested Song` or something similar

On first glance it doesn't seem like that'd be possible but I thought I'd ask anyway
