Anybody had any luck importing, into Excel 2007 but without resorting to Cut and Paste, the data that MtGox, CampBX or Tradehill make available by using their API's? Excel 2007 has supposedly has the ability to "Get External Data" "From Web", but it's beaten me into submission. API's: http://mtgox.com/api/0/data/ticker.phphttp://CampBX.com/api/xticker.php https://api.tradehill.com/APIv1/USD/TickerThe problem seems to be that Excel doesn't understand JSON, but when I look at the output from those API sites, it looks like text that I should be able to parse without much trouble. I've searched around the forum for some insight into this, but I have not found anything relevant to importing ticker data without Cut and Paste. Thanks for any suggestions! |

From my little research, it doesn't appear that Excel 2007 can parse and interpret JSON. A developer could build a service to translate the data from MtGox, etc to a format that Excel 2007 can use. How much of a PITA is this to you? How often do you need to retrieve data from MtGox and others? For reference purposes, you can read about the Excel feature here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/excel-help/get-external-data-from-a-web-page-HA010218472.aspx |

But it will be nice to know how to import data from JSON into Excel, in that way we can have wider range of application! Sorry to revive an old thread, is there anyone knows how to import API JSON data into Excel? I searched many places but all in vain... |

What exactely you need? With macro I can get for example : https://www.bitstamp.net/api/ticker/ or other api. Only what you need is IE8 or higher. Here is example For refreshing data just click on button refresh. Excel file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/u44xev0wvwjgmyk/Zvezek1.xlsm?dl=0If you need further help just say and I will try to help you. |

could it be possible to have the dropbox file back on line? I checked to and unfortunately it's not working ok for me :/ the problem with excel 2007 is that you can't install power query, and at the moment I would prefer not switching to excel 2010+ |

I've searched around the forum for some insight into this, but I have not found anything relevant to importing ticker data without Cut and Paste.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Google Sheets has one - and it's incredibly easier than Excel and faster than writing JSON code. It's the Google Cryptofinance add on.The CRYPTOFINANCE() function, available as a Google Sheets Add-On, uses the coinmarketcap API to returns the rates, market cap, volume, change, total supply and rank. |
