$(document).ready(function() {
    function playerCheck() {
        $.ajax({
            type: 'GET',url: 'http://mcapi.us/server/status',data: {ip: 'PLAY.MINEARCH.ORG', keepUpdated: true}
        })
        .done(function(status) {$("#ServerCount1, #ServerCount2").text(status.players.now);});
    }

    playerCheck();

    setInterval(function() {
        playerCheck();
    },5000)

    $("#ServerCount1").click(function() { playerCheck() });
});

Just tried the code on w3school, if you change
http://mcapi.us/server/status to use https:// instead, then it might work.
Just some tips: Make sure you have a valid jquery CDN linked as well before you use this.
