It would be amazing to be able to connect the Number Counter application to an external data soruce to allow the numbers to be refreshed in real time without the need to manually update them in the application every time they change. Something similar to world-o-meters or even what you are doing with your own Coronavirus tracker.

Hello Tony and folks!
Thanks a lot for adding this request.
Now when we have more possibilities to work with our wishlist closer than we used to, I’d love to specify a couple of things, so we understand your request better.
Could you please share how exactly you’d love to perform such a connection, via a link? If so, what a link is supposed to return?
Thanks a lot!

We are trying to create a counter that will increase as users register for our challenge. The easiest would be to be able to grab dynamic data from a google spreadsheet, and use it to modify an increasing counter. (Kind of like the Number Counter… but with data from an outside source…)

@Summer_Dey thank you very much for your comment, and welcome to the Elfsight Community!
I do love your idea, and I’ve merged it with a similar request for our Number Counter app. Although this feature is quite complex, I still hope we’ll consider it in the future
Thanks a lot for your help, it’s highly appreciated!
Guys, this feature is in the works! I’ll post here as soon as I have more news to share
