Great workflow! Thanks for creating it.

I'm a Brit and I'm having a few issues trying to get it work for me, I tried changing the url it pulls from to http://data.mtgox.com/api/2/BTCGBP/money/ticker and it failed to work. 

Can I ask how I'd go about setting it up to work with GBP? Apologies if I'm missing something obvious. It'd be wonderful if there were an optional argument where you enter a currency code and it pulls the data for that one.

Thanks again

Pardon my delay in responding to you, I did not see your post.

 

This worflow queries  the json datastream located on mtgox's website

 

http://data.mtgox.com/api/2/BTCUSD/money/ticker

 

You'll have to find the mtgox datastream that has EURO's. and modify the perl script with that url. 

 

Update:

 

I found the Euro data stream.

 

You'll need to change:

data.mtgox.com/api/2/BTCUSD/money/ticker 

to

data.mtgox.com/api/2/BTCEUR/money/ticker
