Live data from JSON, XML or your API
Bind a board to any JSON or XML feed, or your own API, and flip live values onto the screen as they change.
Available on the Business plan and up
Anything you can reach over the web can flow onto your board. Point Split-Flap TV at a JSON or XML feed, pick the value you want, and it flips onto the screen and keeps itself current: a live KPI, a queue number, a stock level, a match score, an order that is ready for pickup.
A value can even drive colour: read a HEX code from your feed and the line changes colour on its own, so a number turns red when it drops or green when it is on target. For teams that would rather not touch code, the App Marketplace has pre-built apps that connect common data sources for you.
