Bitcoin Price Ticker Fix - PLEASE HELP!

[JessyMatt]

I'm using this bitcoin price ticker that is using Mt.Gox but they're no longer in service unfortunately. I'm trying to replace Mt.Gox with blockchain or something similar. Can anyone please help me fix this?

Code:

<?php
        //first fetch the current rate from MtGox
        $ch = curl_init('https://mtgox.com/api/0/data/ticker.php');
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, 'Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MtGox PHP client; '.php_uname('s').'; PHP/'.phpversion().')');
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "CakeScript/0.1");
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
                $mtgoxjson = curl_exec($ch);
                curl_close($ch);
               
        //decode from an object to array
                $output_mtgox = json_decode($mtgoxjson);
                $output_mtgox_1 = get_object_vars($output_mtgox);
                $mtgox_array = get_object_vars($output_mtgox_1['ticker']);

High:&nbsp;<?php echo $mtgox_array['high'];   ?><br/>
Low:&nbsp;&nbsp;<?php echo $mtgox_array['low'];   ?><br/>

First off, switch the URL to https://www.bitstamp.net/api/ticker/ and see what it reads

Thanks for the idea but it doesn't work. I tried https://blockchain.info/ticker too and that didn't work.

Save it in the same directory as your other code as "bitstamp.php". Now change your other code to the following:

Code:

require_once('bitstamp.php');
$KEY = "YOUR KEY";
$SECRET = "YOUR SECRET";
$CLIENT_ID = "YOUR CLIENT ID";

$bs = new Bitstamp($KEY,$SECRET,$CLIENT_ID);

print_r($bs->ticker());

Then create an account on bitstamp, verify your account, then on their website, go to Security then API access. Copy and past the key, secret, and client id they provide you with into the matching variables in the code I just gave you. That should do the trick.

I'm using this bitcoin price ticker that is using Mt.Gox but they're no longer in service unfortunately. I'm trying to replace Mt.Gox with blockchain or something similar. Can anyone please help me fix this?

Code:

<?php
        //first fetch the current rate from MtGox
        $ch = curl_init('https://mtgox.com/api/0/data/ticker.php');
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, 'Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MtGox PHP client; '.php_uname('s').'; PHP/'.phpversion().')');
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "CakeScript/0.1");
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
                $mtgoxjson = curl_exec($ch);
                curl_close($ch);
               
        //decode from an object to array
                $output_mtgox = json_decode($mtgoxjson);
                $output_mtgox_1 = get_object_vars($output_mtgox);
                $mtgox_array = get_object_vars($output_mtgox_1['ticker']);
 
?>

<br/>
Last:&nbsp;<?php echo $mtgox_array['last'];   ?><br/>

Avg:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<?php echo $mtgox_array['avg'];   ?><br/>
Vol:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<?php echo $mtgox_array['vol'];   ?><br/>

Is not it possible to integrate the coindesk ticker ? Probably the following may help...

Yeah, you could use that instead. You might not have to go through bitstamp's painful verification process. Bitstamp makes you do that because you can use their api to buy and sell BTC so it needs to be extra secure.

OH! I just realized something! Try changing the code to this:

Code:

<?php
        //first fetch the current rate from MtGox
        $ch = curl_init('https://www.bitstamp.net/api/ticker/');
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, 'Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MtGox PHP client; '.php_uname('s').'; PHP/'.phpversion().')');
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "CakeScript/0.1");
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
                curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
                $mtgoxjson = curl_exec($ch);
                curl_close($ch);
               
        //decode from an object to array
                $output_mtgox = json_decode($mtgoxjson);
                $output_array = get_object_vars($output_mtgox);
 
?>
<br/>
<br/>
Last:&nbsp;<?php echo $mtgox_array['last'];   ?><br/>
High:&nbsp;<?php echo $mtgox_array['high'];   ?><br/>
Low:&nbsp;&nbsp;<?php echo $mtgox_array['low'];   ?><br/>
Volume:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<?php echo $mtgox_array['volume'];   ?><br/>

I think the problem you had when you changed the ticker was that the array was built differently so you had to access it differently. See if the above code works. It will be a lot simpler than going through bitstamp's whole verification process.

I submitted my papers to get verified and waiting...I'll let you know if everything work. Thanks for the help. I created another one and about to turn it into a wordpress widget. Anyone can get the code here: http://www.bitcoinvalues.net/bitcoin-forum?vasthtmlaction=viewtopic&t=11.0

Save it in the same directory as your other code as "bitstamp.php". Now change your other code to the following:

Code:

require_once('bitstamp.php');
$KEY = "YOUR KEY";
$SECRET = "YOUR SECRET";
$CLIENT_ID = "YOUR CLIENT ID";

$bs = new Bitstamp($KEY,$SECRET,$CLIENT_ID);

print_r($bs->ticker());

Then create an account on bitstamp, verify your account, then on their website, go to Security then API access. Copy and past the key, secret, and client id they provide you with into the matching variables in the code I just gave you. That should do the trick.

I submitted my papers to get verified and waiting...I'll let you know if everything work. Thanks for the help. I created another one and about to turn it into a wordpress widget. Anyone can get the code here: http://www.bitcoinvalues.net/bitcoin-forum?vasthtmlaction=viewtopic&t=11.0

No problem. I hope everything turns out ok.
