Ok I wont go for live data, every 5mins will be fine with me.
Yeah data has to be from coinmarketcap site as I believe that has the most comprehensive data.
Any suggestions?

Ok apart from the above 2 tools is there a another way to watch live selective altcoins all on 1 screen at the same time using live data from coinmarketcap?
the data from coinmarketcap is not live, it updates every 5 minutes.
if you want a live price you have to use an exchange API to get the price data directly from the exchange not through a third party.
for example call this:
Code:
https://bittrex.com/api/v1.1/public/getmarketsummaries
and then take the "Last" key or "Bid" or "Ask" keys for respective prices.

The Price Ticker Widget is just a HTML code that you can put on your website to show the latest price of the chosen coin.
An API ticker is used to integrate all the data found in Coinmarketcap on your application. For that you should probably understand what is an API. In this case you could use the Coinmarketcap API to get all the data like "price in USD" and "24h volume" from any coin available on their site and use it on your website or application.
You can find all the API documentation here.
There are tools that use the Coinmarketcap API to show you all the data without having to access their website.
E.g: https://steemit.com/steemit/@flash56/coinmarketcap-desktop-open-source-project

Hi,
On the above site I click on tools for bitcoin and other coins and can see Website widget and API ticker. Whats the difference?
Instead of going to that site all the time how do I download these tools to my desktop so I can view it straight from my desktop
