1Forge is the only provider that delivers true FIX speed with the convenience of an API.
Most forex data providers force you to compromise: you can either get really fast data through a FIX connection (aka a firehose) for thousands per month, or you can get slow data via a JSON API. With 1Forge, you can have the best of both worlds: the speed of a FIX connection and the ease of use that comes with a JSON API all at a reasonable price.

How do I get currency exchange rates via an API such as Google Finance? [closed]
Now, I did find the Google Finance API and started looking through that but I found a lot of info about portfolios, transactions, positions & other stuff I know nothing about.
Am I looking at the wrong docs? What do I need to do to get a feed of exchange rates from GF? Is this even possible?
To make things a little clearer. I'm not interested in technical stuff nor do I want any code.

Yahoo finance API Discontinued 2017-11-06.
Discontinued as of 2017-11-06 with message.
It has come to our attention that this service is being used in violation of the Yahoo Terms of Service. As such, the service is being discontinued. For all future markets and equities data research, please refer to finance. yahoo.
This CSV was being used by a jQuery plugin called Curry. Curry has since (2017-08-29) moved to use fixer. io instead due to stability issues. Might be useful if you need more than just a CSV.
(thanks to Keyo) Yahoo Query Language lets you get a whole bunch of currencies at once in XML or JSON. The data updates by the second (whereas the European Central Bank has day old data), and stops in the weekend. Doesn't require any kind of sign up.
Here is the YQL query builder, where you can test a query and copy the url:
Open Source Exchange Rates API.
Changing "base" (from "USD") is not allowed in Free account.
currencylayer API.
Free Plan for 1,000 monthly hits.
Changing "source" (from "USD") is not allowed in Free account.
European Central Bank Feed.
Fixer. io API (European Central Bank data)
Here's another JSON(P) API based on the Google API (source: this comment):
Yahoo has a YQL feature to get a whole bunch of currencies at once in XML or JSON. I've noticed the data is up to date by the minute where the ECB has day old data, and stops in the weekend.
Here is their query builder, where you can test a query and copy the url:
The European Central Bank (ECB) also has the most reliable free feed that I know of. It contains approx 28 currencies and is updated at least daily.
If you need a free and simple API for converting one currency to another, try free. currencyconverterapi.
Disclaimer, I'm the author of the website and I use it for one of my other websites.
The service is free to use even for commercial applications but offers no warranty. For performance reasons, the values are only updated every 30 minutes.
Here are some exchange APIs with PHP example.
[ Open Exchange Rates API ]
Provides 1,000 requests per month free. You must register and grab the App ID. The base currency USD for free account. Check the supported currencies and documentation.
150 USD = 18039.09015 JPY.
[ Currency Layer API ]
Provides 1,000 requests per month free. You must register and grab the Access KEY. Custom base currency is not supported in free account. Check the documentation.
150 USD = 18036.75045 JPY.
If you're looking for a ruby based solution for this problem, I recommend using the Google Calculator method a solution similar to the following: j. mp/QIC564.
Here is one simple PHP Script which gets exchange rate between GBP and USD.
Google currency rates are not accurate google itself says ==> Google cannot guarantee the accuracy of the exchange rates used by the calculator. You should confirm current rates before making any transactions that could be affected by changes in the exchange rates. Foreign currency rates provided by Citibank N. A. are displayed under licence. Rates are for information purposes only and are subject to change without notice. Rates for actual transactions may vary and Citibank is not offering to enter into any transaction at any rate displayed.
Beside the geolocation done by IP (but the IP is the provider IP, so not so accurate), they return currencies also and have a currency converter: see examples.
They have 111 currencies updated.
For all newbie guys searching for some hint about currency conversion, take a look at this link. Datavoila.
