almost live forex currency rates [closed]

Tags:

forex

I need to get live forex exchange rates for my personal application. I know that there's no free service that has this data available for download. I've been using Yahoo Finance, but I've just found out that it has a delay of 15 minutes or so. Is there any way I could get fresher rates somewhere? Say, 5-minute old instead of 15?

Many forex brokers offer free "informers" that autoload data in an interval of seconds, so maybe there's a few that allow this data to be downloaded in bigger intervals without the use of their informers strictly for personal use?

TrueFX has free real-time (multiple updates per second) forex quotes, but only for a limited number of pairs: http://webrates.truefx.com/rates/connect.html?f=html

They also have free downloadable tick data for the same pairs, going back to May 2009: http://truefx.com/?page=downloads

You can get real-time quotes for a larger selection of pairs from FXCM: http://rates.fxcm.com/RatesXML

Realtime rates for about 40 currency pairs are available here: http://1forge.com/forex-data-api, eg: https://1forge.com/forex-quotes/quotes

They also have free downloadable tick-data, going back to 2007, but you need to create a demo account and use a COM based Windows API called Order2Go to retrieve it.

They promised that they will make available the same tick data in CSV format for free sometime this year here: http://www.forexcodesource.com/index.php/Category:Historical_Data
