Stocks and sports scores wallpapers

[ste*****e]

This product is fantastic. I'm really happy with it, but I'm wondering if there is a way to use it to display real time sports and stock prices. Is there something within the wallpaper editor that will allow me to bring in this information from a website?

Hey, thanks for your kind words! So basically, in the Scene editor you cannot really access API data like stocks or sports scores. For that, we would recommend a web-based wallpaper approach as you can then request the data from some online service of your choice. To my own surprise, I am not aware of any stock or sports score wallpapers, I assume because either the demand is not there or the creation would be a bit too complex.

What I would probably resort to is using some sort of existing web service for this and then simply access it via the "Open from URL" button in Wallpaper Engine. For example, for stocks you might use a real-time streaming page like this which also has a "fullscreen" button:

https://www.investing.com/indices/us-spx-500-futures-streaming-chart

However, that is just an example and not necessarily a recommendation. If you know web-based technologies like HTML, CSS and JavaScript well enough, you could build a webpage / wallpaper which tracks stock indices of your choice.

Thanks, Tim. I will do some research around it, but so far I really like WE. Congrats!
