Title: My.gox ticker help
Post by: Lurk on October 08, 2012, 09:46:35 PM
Hi. I'm in the process of making a bitcoin website I have a pretty limited understanding of HTML close to none.
 I tried useing the java code for the mt. Gox ticker and I really don't understand what I'm doing wrong. If anyone knows of a walk through or can just paste the code I need I would really appreciate it.
  All I want is just the real time price in usd.
I've tried using the wiki but its just over my head.
   Thanks

First off to get real time data, in java from mt gox is you need a library that will read a web socket stream, and that is where your issue is. So get a library that you can pass in the ws:// url for mt gox and you will have a real time ticker. But to me it sounds like you have no clue as to write java code cause you would clearly see that you need to keep polling the URL to get the ticker state at that time.

I'm clueless altogether with this... Kind of figuring it out as I go

I would recommend hiring someone, cause it is very difficult for a new person to figure it out by themselves
