Hello,
I am wondering how do i start the import of data from this public API into a WP page:

http://pubapi.cryptsy.com/api.php?method=marketdatav2

What is the first step to do?
I am confused about how to start from the beginning until the end result; that is to take the data from this API shown into a WP page on my blog.
It may look simple to experienced API programmers but this is new for me and dont know where to start, or what to program where. Just a small guideline or checklist could help me into the right direction. Thanks in advance.
The API info from the site i want to retrieve is here:

https://www.cryptsy.com/pages/publicapi

What language are you using?

You will have to write a script to request the data from cryptsy, store the data, and then post it to WP. As a broad overview.

You need to ask questions like, how ling do you need to hold the data, how often of when will you make those requests.

In the end it’s not easy. I am going through the whole documentation, because my “easy” script is not working and I don’t know if it broken or what. I am trying to interface with a database schema with it’s own API, so it’s a mess.
