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 and also have an API for their Bitcoin Price Index , as for Coinmarketcap , It's also possible to use their 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

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