Live FX rates in your browser: the fastFOREX Chrome extension

By Tom Walder

We're excited to announce that fastFOREX is now available as a Chrome Extension — putting real-time currency data and instant conversions one click away from your address bar.

Install it from the Chrome Web Store →

Why we built it

If you're already integrating fastFOREX into your application, you know how fast and reliable our data is. But sometimes you don't need a full integration — you just need to see the rates. Maybe you're debugging a payment flow, checking a quote before a meeting, or watching how a pair moves while you build.

The fastFOREX Chrome Extension gives you that, instantly, without leaving the tab you're working in.

What's inside

  • Live streaming FX rates powered by our WebSocket API — the same low-latency feed your production systems can plug into
  • Real-time currency conversion for any of our supported pairs, right from the toolbar
  • Streaming OHLC bid/ask visualisation so you can watch the market move tick by tick
  • Zero data collection — we don't track you, store your activity, or sell anything to third parties

Built for developers

This isn't a toy. The extension talks to the same infrastructure that powers fastFOREX for 750+ clients across 100+ countries. If you're evaluating our API, it's the fastest way to see what real-time really means — bid, ask, OHLC, all streaming live in your browser.

And if you're already a customer, consider it a free productivity boost.

Get it now

The extension is live on the Chrome Web Store and free to install.

👉 Add fastFOREX to Chrome
