If this helps, I opted at the end to use the widget Executor: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/2932/executor/

In the widget I am calling a simple bash script nightscout-widget.sh every 120 seconds:

#!/bin/bash
# <xbar.title>Nightscout Reader</xbar.title>
# <xbar.version>0.2.0</xbar.version>
# <xbar.desc>For Diabetics using Nightscout to track CGM data: Display current Blood Sugar data and trend from Nightscout</xbar.desc>
# <xbar.dependencies>bash, curl, bc, jq</xbar.dependencies>

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:$PATH"

if ! [ -x "$(command -v jq)" ]; then
  echo 'Error: jq is not installed.'
  echo '---'

if $USEMMOL ; then
    BG=$(echo "scale=1; $BG / 18" | bc) #Convert mg/dl to mmol/l
fi

You have to install jq, but in most cases it is already a part of a linux system.

All credit goes to Jeremy Hay Draude, who is the original author of this script, I just adjusted it for Linux
