Import Json web data source to xls or csv

[Michael Herman]

First - you can use Python in Excel. http://www.python-excel.org/ or
https://www.datanitro.com/

Updated code:

import json
import urllib
import csv

url = "http://bitcoincharts.com/t/markets.json"
response = urllib.urlopen(url);
data = json.loads(response.read())

f = open("bitcoin.csv","wb")
c = csv.writer(f)

# write headers
c.writerow(["Currency","Symbol","Bid", "Ask", "Volume"])


for d in data:

c.writerow([str(d["currency"]),str(d["symbol"]),str(d["bid"]),str(d["ask"]),str(d["currency_volume"])])
