Euro / US Dollar (EURUSD) market data
EURUSD is the major pair for Euro against US Dollar.
About Euro / US Dollar (EURUSD)
EURUSD is the exchange rate of the euro against the US dollar, quoted as the number of US dollars for one euro. It is the most heavily traded currency pair, and its rate moves through the interbank week rather than in fixed sessions.
SiftingIO consolidates EURUSD across independent sources into one rate. The live quote returns bid and ask with their sizes, the mid, a spread in basis points, the number of contributing venues, the 24-hour change, and a millisecond timestamp. Reach it as a REST snapshot or subscribe over WebSocket for a continuous feed.
Historical bars are available over REST at one-minute, five-minute, fifteen-minute, hourly, four-hour, and daily resolution, timestamped in UTC. One caveat matters for FX: the volume field on every bar is zero, because spot foreign exchange has no consolidated tape to count. How far back you can read is tied to your plan tier, from a recent window free to the full history higher up, as the pricing page details.
The live rate updates faster on higher tiers, from one to ten times per second, and the median publish age stays under 100 milliseconds, which describes freshness, not trade execution. Each rate is a volume and reputation weighted median across venues, tagged with source, ingest, and publish timestamps and a quality flag.
