Using IEX API for real-time stock info (Yahoo Finance replacement)?

Question

Just like the title says, I'm looking for a replacement source for stock info now that Yahoo has disabled the API many people have been using. The new source I've been looking at is found here: https://iextrading.com/developer/

My question is how to actually get the data in to Excel...I was thinking through VBA since that is what I had used to get the data from Yahoo. However, I think what I would like to do is well beyond my current abilities...I also tried using Excel's WEBSERVICE() function with the following URL to simply look at a price: https://api.iextrading.com/1.0/stock/aapl/price but that didn't work. From my understanding, IEX has made a plethora of data available to us for free, I just don't know how to access it. My reasoning for VBA is so that I am able to use an input list from a workbook for tickers, and would be able to put this data access in many workbooks. Any help is much appreciated. Additionally, any sort of direction as to where I can look to begin learning this on my own would be similarly welcome. Thanks.

Update: Code mentioned in my comment

Function StockPrice(ticker As String, item As String) As Double

Dim strURL As String, strCSV As Double, itemFound As Integer, tag As String

itemFound = 0
If item = "lastprice" Then
    tag = "price"
    itemFound = 1
ElseIf item = "pe" Then
    tag = "peRatio"
    itemFound = 1

End If

If itemFound = 1 Then

    strURL = "https://api.iextrading.com/1.0/stock/" & ticker & "/" & tag
    Set XMLHTTP = CreateObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP")
    XMLHTTP.Open "GET", strURL, False
    XMLHTTP.send
    StockPrice = XMLHTTP.responseText
    Set XMLHTTP = Nothing

Else

    StockPrice = "Item Not Found"

End If

End Function

This maybe a bit simplistic, but it's a start:

Sub IEX()
Dim Price As Single

    Price = Application.WebService("https://api.iextrading.com/1.0/stock/aapl/price")

End Sub
