Live data from JSON on your screens.
Paste a JSON link into the screen designer and pick what to show: a menu, a timetable, a leaderboard, stock levels, queue numbers or a fundraising total. POMP reads the feed and finds its lists and values for you, you choose the fields and the layout, and every screen refreshes the data on its own without reloading the playlist.
- Menu board
- News
- Raised fundraiser
- Live weather
- What's On
- Room sign
- Calendar
- Notices
What you get
- Works with any public JSON link. No code and no API keys.
- Lists show as rows with headings, dividers and columns you choose and order.
- Single values can be formatted as numbers, money or percentages, with text before and after.
- Screens check for changes every 15 seconds to every hour, as you choose.
- Screens read the feed through POMP, so it works on every player, including the web player, and one request serves all your screens.
- If the feed goes down, screens keep showing the last good data.
- Lists need POMP player 2.1.2 and single values 2.1. Older players show the data from when you last loaded it.

Live data from JSON questions
What kind of link do I need?
Any https link that returns JSON, such as an API, a Google Apps Script web app or a file on your website. It must be public; links that need a login won't work.
Does the playlist reload when the data changes?
No. Only the live data part updates, on its own, at the interval you set.
My feed blocks other websites (CORS). Will it still work?
Yes. Screens read the feed through POMP, so CORS settings don't matter.
