Hi there guys,

I want to create a widget for "Bitcoin Price Index" as well as "Bitcoin Price Ticker" like on CoinDesk:
http://screencast.com/t/WJe3LV7b

as well as embed this on our web page
http://coinmarketcap.com/

We are willing to send donations. Please, any help and reply will be appreciated guys! Take care.

Best Regards,

Options here are endless as you could get the price using the blockchain.info API (or from exchanges) and do the rest yourself . CoinDesk however , gives you the ability to embeed their Bitcoin Price Ticker Widget (http://www.coindesk.com/price/bitcoin-price-ticker-widget/) and also have an API for their Bitcoin Price Index (http://www.coindesk.com/api/) , as for Coinmarketcap , It's also possible to use their API (http://coinmarketcap.com/api/) and get access to whatever you see in their website (there is a lot of parameters so see what fits you and use it).

Fairly easy,for making the  Bitcoin Price Index,use the following API's :-

http://www.coindesk.com/api/
https://bitcoinaverage.com/en/bitcoin-price/btc-to-usd
Collective List of all the API's https://bitcoinaverage.com/en/api-collections
https://www.quandl.com/collections/markets/bitcoin-data

For,Bitcoin Price Ticker,
http://www.coindesk.com/price/bitcoin-price-ticker-widget/
Collective List of all the API's https://www.cryptonator.com/widget
http://exadex.org/bitcointicker/

For the later part,that is All Cryptos Market Cap,use the following API's :-
https://coinmarketcap.com/api/
http://www.coincap.io/
https://bter.com/api

How to create a bitcoin price widget is Chapter 7 of my book (a portion of chapter 7 is available in the "look inside" preview).  https://www.amazon.com/Building-Bitcoin-Websites-Beginners-Development/dp/153494544X

Or you can watch my youtube tutorial video on how to create one for free: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVlMueUBGOo

Have fun, and good luck!

Thank you @Joel_Jantsen! This is great info right here! I know this is silly for you guys but with the Crytos Market Cap, how can I output the https://github.com/CoinCapDev/CoinCap.io to a web page? same as http://www.coincap.io/. I've tried:

<script src="yourlibpath/socket.io.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">
    var socket = io.connect('http://socket.coincap.io');

    socket.on('trades', function (tradeMsg) {
        console.log(tradeMsg);
    })

    socket.on('global', function (globalMsg) {
        console.log(globalMsg);
    })
</script>

But this doesn't work. :'(

Thanks @coinableS!! You've explained this really well! Thanks for the tutorials! I'm considering to buy your book. Is it explained how to build bitcoin widget such as
http://screencast.com/t/t4MPb7wLHzRm

And extract JSON API on web page like
http://coincap.io/

What else can I get from the book please? Thank you!
