I coded it myself using the chaturbate JSON API
In my case, I have a backend cronjob that reads all of the "online now" JSON data from chaturbate every few minutes and writes it to redis. Then when my scripts need to render the widgets, they can just read the JSON data from redis and do whatever they need to. The JSON API contains all the information you need to make a widget: Thumbnail URLs, model names, chat room descriptions, viewer count, etc etc. So once you pull in this data you just write it into your web page, and then style it with CSS to look like the rest of your content. Amazingly profitable (but takes at least 6 months to build up).
You can also do it front-end from Javascript but it's slower for the end user and more likely to piss off Chaturbate (because you'll generate at least 1 API request per user [which might overload the chaturbate API], instead of 1 API request every couple minutes [which the chaturbate API is certainly equipped to handle])
If you would like me to code something up for you, hit me up
