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 fromhttps://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 asource=wpmarker 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, the settings screen makes no request to the service — it only links to the online builder. The block editor is the exception: while you are configuring a block it loads a live preview from
https://widget.currency.wiki/crypto/v3/embed(flaggedpreview=1so it is not counted as a site using the widget), which sends the same display settings listed above.
