Name: Currency.Wiki Crypto Price Ticker
Author: currencywiki

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.
