You can just use PHP for it. If you want to update the data without having to reload the page, you can use AJAX.

alright thank you, and what about protecting my codes so no one can use my api key

If you need to protect your api-key just do it serverside with PHP. That's fine. (:
If you still want to update the DOM without reloading the page you can just send an AJAX request to your own backend.
