USDJPY is the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Japanese yen, quoted as the number of yen for one dollar. It is one of the most actively traded pairs and, unlike the euro or pound pairs, it is quoted with the dollar as the base currency.
SiftingIO consolidates USDJPY across independent sources into a single rate. The live snapshot returns the latest price, bid and ask, size fields, and a Unix millisecond timestamp. Calculate the spread as ask minus bid. Access the rate through REST snapshots or a WebSocket stream.
Historical bars run over REST from one-minute through monthly resolution, timestamped in UTC. Each bar carries open, high, low, close, and a volume field as reported by the source, which may be zero. All plans include the complete available USDJPY series. The earliest date follows source coverage, with historical depth by market listed on the pricing page.
USDJPY updates are available in real time over REST and WebSocket. Public ticks carry the symbol, price and size fields, bid and ask with size fields, and a Unix millisecond timestamp. Forex size fields may be zero when the source does not supply sizes.
