Topic: Simplest way of obtaining MtGox exchange rate via an API? (Read 326 times)
Hey guys,
I want to do a simple app that refreshes every minute to tell me the current exchange rate by Mtgox but I have a problem interpreting the JSON that some APIs return:
- Mtgox's fast ticker returns [this JSON][1]. The question is, what's the value that I have to retrieve? There are a lot and I don't understand them, and I don't find proper docs.
- Bitcoincharts' API has the [Markets Data endpoint][2], and it returns the market I want under the symbol "mtgoxUSD", however it tells me the date time of latest trade, the last buy/ask, but doesn't tell me **the exchange rate of the latest trade**.
Am I missing something?
Thanks
