Widget: Simple API Request and JSON interpret

[SebastianJohn93]

Hey,

First of all this project is amazing, so smooth and easy to setup via Portainer!

I'm using this to build dashboards for my team and the app has basically everthing I need - except one thing.

Now I might have missed that there already is a way to make this happen, but maybe not.

So, my Idea is to implement a simple Widget that you can configure to make API requests and interpret(regex) the JSON response and dispay as text in the widget.

I would use this to fetch relevant stats and data from our other internal systems such as CMDB, PowerBI, Grafana etc.

I understand that this project probably is not meant to be used the way I am wanting to use it, but it really has potential for a wider range of usage!

Hey,

Sadly right now there is no way to show data from a custom API. But you could use IFrames to integrate Graphs from other websites like Grafana, hope this helps. We are currently working on 1.0 which will further improve the user experience, see #1993 for more infos
