[Lawless Baron]

I was wondering how would i go about adding an API to Xenforo

They have example PHP code here:

http://bf3stats.com/docs/bf3apiexample.php.txt

I recommend the following approach:

1) Create an addon in XF.

2) Create a cron for the addon. The cron will contain the example code to fetch the BF3 information. It will then store the information in the database somewhere. The cron will run at regular intervals to update the information.

3) Create a template_hook listener to query the stored information and display it in the sidebar or where ever you want.

This requires coding ability.

Agree

And i would recommand to store the data in the dataregistry

/**
 * Model that represents data in the data registry system. This system
 * is a generally permanent cache of data that can be read from the
 * cache system or out of the database.
 *
 * Data stored here will be automatically serialized and unserialized
 * as it is retrieved.
 *
 * @package XenForo_Core
 */
class XenForo_Model_DataRegistry extends XenForo_Model
