Free EOD forex data websites? www.eoddata.com stopped working

Discussion in 'Forex' started by learner88, Jan 5, 2019.

  1. I used to download free end-of-day forex data from www.eoddata.com . It seems like they have stopped providing forex eod data since 26Dec2017. Anyone download forex data from this website and encounter the same problem?

    What are some other websites to download free end-of-day forex data?

    Thank.

    What about regular MT4 quotes. They have a good level of precision many of my EA got quality backtesting with those quotes as live results show..
     
  5. Are you sure you don't mean 28Dec2018?

    And yes, I am experiencing the same problem.


    The EODData forex files were useful as they covered 1020 pairs basis 5:00 pm NYC time. Its hard to find the same breadth elsewhere.

    EODData is reselling Barchart.com data, so if you want the exact same data you can get it there via API. If you want free, you can pull it in 41 calls (25 pairs per call) to the "GetQuote" API endpoint which is part of the free "On Demand" API. For $100/month you can subscribe to Barchart's "Small" API package and pull the data in one call (and get two other API endpoints of your choice as well).

    The API is easy to use and REST based, and returns data in either CSV or JSON. Programming examples in. e.g. Python, R, Curl, etc., are available on the Barchart site.
