### Options
Counter allows you to specify URL of an endpoint it's going to receive answer from, as well as specifying response lifetime (cache) in seconds.\
Data path is a path to get the desired value when the response's content type is [JSON](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn_web_development/Core/Scripting/JSON), the syntax is similar to one used by JS to access properties and array items.
For more information on how to use this counter, refer to [More on complex counters](/readme/using-the-bot/more-on-complex-counters-1.md).
