What specifically are you looking to add? Each api they offer has example codes listed for them.

For example if you wanted to list all of the coins they track you would use the following code,

Code:

<?php
// fetch data
	$curl = curl_init();
	curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://api.cryptocoincharts.info/listCoins");
	curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
	$rawData = curl_exec($curl);
	curl_close($curl);
	
	// decode to array
	$data = json_decode($rawData);
	
	// show data
	echo "<pre>";
	foreach ($data as $row) echo $row->id." - ".$row->name."\n";
	echo "</pre>";
?>

P.S. Big shout out to CryptoCoinCharts, I use their API for Crypto Database to show pricing information and to track coins highs and lows.

That doesnt do anything except put code on my page
	
	// show data
	echo "<pre>";
	foreach ($data as $row) echo $row->id." - ".$row->name."\n";
	echo "</pre>";

What information are you wanting the information to show? For example, 'Joe wants to find the price between BTC and LTC what does he do?' or no?

The example tells you. All of their examples are fully functioning code that you place <?php ?> tags around and place anywhere on a .php file.
