##Usage Run: dashing install f38f6184c9f82fefb200

##Settings You can change the meme type.

memegenerator.rb

require 'net/http'
require 'json'

#Id of the widget
id = "businesscat"

#What meme to show
meme = "Business-Cat"

#The Memegenerator API
server = "http://version1.api.memegenerator.net"


SCHEDULER.every '5m', :first_in => 0 do |job|
    #The uri getting the instances of the meme that have been popular the last 7 days
    uri = URI("#{server}/Instances_Select_ByPopular?languageCode=en&pageIndex=0&pageSize=12&urlName=#{meme}&days=30")

    res = Net::HTTP.get(uri)
    
    #Marshal the json into an object
    j = JSON.parse(res)

    #We want a random result
    instances = j["result"].shuffle
    imageUrl = instances[0]["instanceImageUrl"]

    #Send the meme to the image widget
    send_event(id, { image: "#{imageUrl}" })
end

Looks like Memegenerator.net is down..not sure if it will come back up. But quick question on integrating this with BigImage...

Can you confirm the correct code to place in the dashboard.erb file is:

  <div data-id="businesscat" data-view="BigImage" </div>

This does still work, but you will need an API key: https://memegenerator.net/api
