What's the feature?
I'd like an api endpoint for a widget that can be added to getHomepage as a customapi service please.
The key values in the updates.json would be enough. Current IP 'ip' and date and time changed 'time'. Perhaps a previous IP's count?
Extra information?
Include an API Key for this feature that can be added and changed in the config.

Hey, in the meantime I created a way to utilise my Cloudflare DNS API endpoint instead to provide the same:

- DDNS Updater:
    icon: /icons/ddns-updater.png
    href: "{{HOMEPAGE_VAR_DDNS_UPDATER_HREF}}"
    #target: _self
    ping: http://ddns-updater:8000/ddns-updater
    description: ip updater
    widget: # Custom widget for cloudflare dns - other providers will differ
        type: customapi
        url: https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/{{HOMEPAGE_VAR_DDNS_UPDATER_CLOUDFLARE_ZONE_ID}}/dns_records?type=A # DNS Zone ID
        refreshInterval: 10000
        method: GET
        headers:
            Authorization: Bearer {{HOMEPAGE_VAR_DDNS_UPDATER_CLOUDFLARE_API}} # Create a new read only Zone DNS API key for this widget
            Content-Type: application/json
        mappings:
            - field: 'result[0].name'
              label: Domain Name
              format: text
            - field: 'result[0].content'
              label: DNS IP
              format: text
            - field: 'result[0].modified_on'
              label: Updated
              format: date
              dateStyle: medium       
              timeStyle: short       
              locale: en-{{HOMEPAGE_VAR_DDNS_UPDATER_WIDGET_LOCAL}} # two letter country code eg 'en-US'

And then for my router widget next to it I just queried a public site for my current IP and keep an eye out to make sure they both match. Best I've come up with so far :-)

- Router:
    icon: /icons/tp-link.png
    href: "{{HOMEPAGE_VAR_ROUTER_HREF}}"
    #target: _self
    ping: "{{HOMEPAGE_VAR_ROUTER_URL}}"
    description: gateway router
    widget:
        type: customapi
        url: https://api.ipify.org?format=json # public site
        refreshInterval: 10000 # optional - in milliseconds, defaults to 10s
        method: GET
        mappings:
            - field: 'ip'
              label: Current IP
              format: text
