need help with price ticker , im noob :)

[deliveryman]

Below is the code im using to show price ticker on my wix.com site.

Now I'd like to add +5% to the ticker (which is my fee for my service).

How can i print: btc price + extra 5%? and how can i print -5%?

Also this ticker only works when i refresh the website, is it also possible to do it real time?

Thanks

            $("#BTCPrice").append("<center>USD/BTC " + data["last"].toFixed(2) + "</center>")
        })
    })

1. I recommend you don't use wix.com

2. Try using setInterval() for updating the price
read up on it on W3Schools.com or something

3. data["last"].toFixed(2) this gets the data from

https://api.bitcoinaverage.com/ticker/global/USD/

Code:

{
  "24h_avg": 381.58,
  "ask": 378.13,
  "bid": 377.6,
  "last": 378.0, // The data here is used (data["last"])
  "timestamp": "Thu, 11 Feb 2016 15:04:41 -0000",
  "volume_btc": 73598.5,
  "volume_percent": 76.12
}

now you have that, you get that value, + 5%

1 = 100%
0.01 = 1%

Therefore the value + 5% is = value * 1.05

I don't want to give you the actual code, so you can learn

You can use this example code in php:

<?php
      function getPrice($url) {
      $decode = file_get_contents($url);
      return json_decode($decode, true);
                              }

      $btcUSD = getPrice('https://api.kraken.com/0/public/Ticker?pair=XXBTZUSD');
      $btcPrice = $btcUSD["result"]["XXBTZUSD"]["c"][0];
      echo number_format (($btcPrice ), 2)." ". "USD" ;
      ?>

it follows Kraken market price for BTC if you want to do some changes in current price in USD dollars you can just write in ($btcPrice - or + how much you want to reduce or higher the price) and you are ready. It updates itself live and you have a ticker

I learned that PHP isn't the best and the most secure thing you could use.. Much better to keep up with technology and just use the javascript since it's a frontend language you could learn to use with other backend technologies
