The snippet
Choose what the converter opens on, copy the two lines, and paste them where the widget should sit. Both lines matter: the frame carries the converter, and the line beneath it carries the attribution.
Preview
This is the live route, not a picture of it. What renders below is what a reader of your page sees.
Options
| Parameter | Accepts | Default |
|---|---|---|
to | Any currency code the converter carries: USD, EUR, JPY, GBP, NZD, INR, CNY, SGD, CAD, CHF | USD |
amount | A positive number, the amount in Australian dollars the converter starts on | 100 |
Anything unrecognised falls back rather than failing, so a typo in a parameter leaves a working converter on your page instead of an error. The Australian dollar is always the base currency; the swap control inside the widget reverses the direction.
Terms of use
- Free to use, on any site, commercial or not. No account, no key, no registration, no expiry.
- The attribution link must stay visible to readers, must point at the converter page, and must not be marked nofollow. That is the whole price.
- Do not alter the widget’s contents or present the rates as your own, and do not remove or obscure the mark inside the frame.
- The rates are mid-market reference rates, not dealing rates, and nothing in the widget is financial advice. Its methodology and disclaimer apply wherever it is embedded.
- Provided as is. The widget can be changed or withdrawn, and it will show an unavailable state rather than a stale figure if a rate cannot be struck.
What you are putting on your page
The rate inside the frame is a mid-market reference rate, struck on a schedule rather than streamed. It does not tick. A reader sees the value at the last strike, and it changes when the page is loaded again, not while they are looking at it. That is worth knowing before writing a caption around it: “live rates” promises something the widget does not do, where “mid-market reference rate, updated through the day” describes what a reader actually gets. Where no rate is available the widget says so plainly and drops its source line rather than showing the last figure it saw, so a page carrying this frame never displays a number that has quietly gone stale.
Embedding it does not change your site’s privacy position. The frame sets no cookie, keeps nothing in the browser and reports nothing back about your readers. The conversion runs in their browser from rates already delivered with the frame, and there is no analytics call inside it at all. So it needs no entry in a consent banner, no line in a cookie policy and no addition to a privacy notice, which is the usual cost of putting somebody else’s widget on a page.
The one condition is the attribution link that ships with the snippet. It has to stay visible, it has to point at the converter page, and it must not be marked nofollow. That is the whole price: no account, no key, no registration, no expiry and no charge. Note where the link sits. It is outside the frame on purpose, because a link inside an iframe belongs to the framed document rather than to the page around it, so an attribution buried in the widget would credit nothing on your page at all.
Pick the currency the page is about. The snippet opens the converter on whichever currency you name, and an article about sending money to the Philippines is better served by a frame that opens on the peso than by one that opens on the US dollar. One thing to be careful of in your own copy: the figure shown is the reference midpoint, not a price any provider offers. If your readers need to know what an exchange will actually cost them, that is what the converter page the attribution links to sets out.
The converter itself, with the full rate table, is at the currency converter, and the methodology page sets out how the rates behind it are struck.
