Currency.Wiki Crypto Price Ticker

Description

Currency.Wiki Crypto Price Ticker adds live cryptocurrency prices to your WordPress site in seconds. Choose from four styles — a full-width scrolling price ticker for your header, a single-coin card, a top-coins market list, or a crypto ↔ fiat converter. Prices update automatically in the visitor’s browser, so there is no API key, no sign-up, and nothing to configure to get started.

External services

This plugin relies on an external service to render the widget and to supply live prices: Currency.Wiki, operated by CurrencyWiki Technologies LLC.

What the service is and what it is used for

The widget is drawn by a small JavaScript widget hosted at widget.currency.wiki, which reads cryptocurrency prices from a CDN-cached quotes file at cdn.currency.wiki. The plugin does not bundle that script or the price data; it builds an embed URL and loads them from the service. This is what keeps the plugin small and lets prices stay current without a plugin update.

What data is sent, and when

• On every page view where the widget is displayed, the visitor’s browser requests the widget script from https://widget.currency.wiki/crypto/v3/script.js, and then the price file from https://cdn.currency.wiki/crypto/quotes.json. The script request carries the display settings you configured (style, theme, accent color, coin list, quote currency, language) as URL parameters, plus a source=wp marker indicating the request came from the WordPress plugin. As with any web request, the visitor’s IP address and user agent are visible to the server.
• No personal data is collected, and no cookies are set. Prices are public market data; nothing about your visitor is sent beyond the ordinary contents of an HTTP request.
• In the WordPress admin, two screens show live previews from https://widget.currency.wiki/crypto/v3/embed (each flagged preview=1 so it is not counted as a site using the widget), which send the same display settings listed above: the plugin’s settings screen renders a small gallery of the four styles, and the block editor renders a live preview while you configure a block. No personal data is sent from the admin; these are the same public price requests described above.
