Privacy & Data

This plugin fetches market data from external APIs (CoinGecko, CoinPaprika, CoinMarketCap, CoinCap, EODHD, Alpha Vantage, Twelve Data, ExchangeRate.host, Metals.dev, Finnhub, GoldAPI, ExchangeRate-API, IEX Cloud, API Ninjas). No personal user data is collected or transmitted to any third party.
API requests are made server-side and results are cached via WordPress transients. The Tools page in the admin area sends connection test requests to the configured providers via the WordPress admin-ajax endpoint (server-side).
See the External Services section below for full details on each provider.

System Requirements

  • WordPress 5.8 or higher
  • PHP 7.4 or higher
  • cURL enabled (for API requests)
  • WordPress transients enabled (for caching)

Custom Self-Hosted API

The plugin optionally supports a custom API endpoint provided by the administrator in the format KEY@URL (e.g. my-key@https://api.example.com/). This feature is entirely optional and no data is sent unless the administrator explicitly configures and activates a custom endpoint. The data sent is determined by the configured URL and the administrator is solely responsible for the compliance of any custom endpoint they choose to use.

API Ninjas

Used only during generic API key validation in the plugin admin area. When an administrator pastes an API key that does not match a known provider format, the plugin tests it against a set of common API endpoints — including API Ninjas — to determine which service the key belongs to. No data other than the key itself is sent, and only when the administrator clicks “Test & Add” for a custom provider.

Do I need API keys?

Yes. Each provider requires you to register your own personal API key. Free keys are available from each provider — the plugin settings pages include direct links to the registration pages. Without a valid API key, the provider will refuse requests.

How often do prices update?

Prices update according to the cache duration configured in plugin Settings (default: varies by data type, minimum 5 minutes).

Which cryptocurrencies are supported?

Over 10,000 cryptocurrencies via CoinGecko API. Use the coin ID (e.g., “bitcoin”, “ethereum”, “solana”). Find coin IDs on CoinGecko.

Can I display stock prices?

Yes! Use the EODHD API to display US stocks, commodities, and ETFs. Register your free API key at eodhistoricaldata.com and enter it in the plugin settings. Example: [daaz_gmp_markets symbols="AAPL.US,TSLA.US"]

Is it compatible with my theme?

Yes, the plugin works with any properly coded WordPress theme. Tested with Astra, GeneratePress, OceanWP, and Twenty Twenty-Four. Uses standard WordPress table markup with responsive CSS.

Does it work with page builders?

Yes! Shortcodes work in:
* Gutenberg blocks

How do I get support?

Use the WordPress.org Support Forum.

Where can I read the full documentation?

Visit daazlabs.com/docs/global-market-prices/ for complete setup guides, shortcode references and examples.

Does the plugin collect personal data?

No. The plugin only fetches public market data from external APIs and caches it with WordPress transients. No personal data is collected, no cookies are set, and no tracking is performed. GDPR compliant. See the External Services section for a complete list of API providers and their privacy policies.

Can I customize the look?

Yes! The plugin outputs standard HTML tables with CSS classes. Add custom CSS in Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS or in your theme.

Example custom CSS:
.daaz_gmp_table { border: 2px solid #f7931a; }

Are there any usage limits?

Each provider enforces its own rate limits on your personal API key. The plugin uses WordPress transient caching to minimise the number of API calls made. Check each provider’s documentation for the limits that apply to their free tier.

Can I translate the plugin?

Yes! The plugin is translation-ready with .pot file included. Portuguese (PT-PT) translation included by default. Use Loco Translate or Poedit to create translations for other languages.
