Frequently Asked Questions
Everything a developer asks before the first request
Is the biquote market data API really free?
Yes. Every REST endpoint, the WebSocket stream and all embeddable widgets are free — no signup, no API key, no credit card. Anonymous callers get 15,000 requests per minute per IP.
Where does the price data come from?
Live ticks stream from a MetaTrader 5 (MT5) feed covering 280+ instruments: forex pairs, cryptocurrencies, gold and other metals, energy and index CFDs. The economic calendar aggregates releases across 54 countries.
Do I need an API key?
No. All public endpoints work without authentication. Just call https://biquote.io/api/EURUSD and you have a live quote.
How do I stream real-time prices over WebSocket?
Connect a SignalR client to https://biquote.io/hubs/tick, invoke Subscribe with your symbols, and ticks are pushed to you as they happen — no polling and no rate limit on the stream.
Can I embed live price widgets on my website?
Yes — twelve widgets (ticker, price card, chart, watchlist, heatmap, economic calendar and more) embed with a single script tag or an iframe from widgets.biquote.io. Free, with light and dark themes.
Which markets can I browse live?
Every live instrument has its own page: forex, crypto, commodities and indices & stock CFDs — real-time price, 24h chart and related news.
