Solution 2: Create a JSON to have more text and data from the API

Use the JSON Content Importer PRO Template Manager and create a Template “jsonoutofjson” with:
URL: https://api.json-content-importer.com/extra/json/date.php

twig-code:

{"outdata": "Timestamp: {{time}}<br>Otherdate: {{otherdate}}"}

In Action:

{“outdata”: “Timestamp: 1783231548, Otherdate: Sun, 05 Jul 26 08:05:48 +0200”}

Use this Shortcode on a published page like https://api.json-content-importer.com/jsonoutofjson/
JSON-Feed is called by “?show=oc”: https://api.json-content-importer.com/jsonoutofjson/?show=oc

Go to the “Auto Refresh AA” menu and create a slot:

• JSON URL: https://api.json-content-importer.com/extra/json/date.php
• Value to display: outdata
• Refresh interval: “Every second”
• Output element: div[id="outdata"]
