Frequently Asked Questions

What forex pairs does the TickAtlas API cover?

We cover all major pairs (EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY, AUDUSD, USDCAD, USDCHF, NZDUSD), cross pairs (EURGBP, EURJPY, GBPJPY, etc.), and exotic pairs. Plus commodities like XAUUSD and crypto pairs like BTCUSD.

How fast is the forex data API response time?

Price data is served straight from Redis, so responses are near-instant and nothing is recalculated per request. Freshness is set by our data, not the cache: it updates about every 60 seconds.

Can I get historical forex data for backtesting?

Yes. The /v1/ohlc endpoint returns up to 1000 candles of historical OHLCV data per request. Retention is per timeframe and identical on every plan: 45 days on D1, 30 days on H4, 14 days on H1, 7 days on M30, 4 days on M15, 2 days on M5 and 24 hours on M1.

Do I need to calculate forex indicators myself?

No. All 42 technical indicators (RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, etc.) are pre-calculated server-side across 7 timeframes. Just call the API and get the value.

What authentication does the forex API use?

Simple API key authentication via the X-API-Key header. Get your key instantly when you sign up for the starting credit — no credit card required.
