What it shows

A local change tape for one symbol built from recent candle closes — a small, familiar strip of the last several moves for a sidebar or ticker slot.

Who it's for

Sidebar or ticker slot needing a compact recent-moves strip.
Broker landing page micro-widget beside a signup form.
Docs example for a small ohlc-kind close series.
Market-dashboard footer module.

The data contract

This widget reads only public market data through our hosted gateway — no account data, no order book, no personal data.

ohlc kind: recent close series · one symbol

The gallery and this preview run in SIMULATED mode — synthetic shapes, no key, no network. Live data flows only after checkout, on your authorized domains.

Embed it

Subscribe from your dashboard and add the domains you'll embed on.
Copy your public wk_ key from the widget panel.
Drop the snippet below into your page, swapping in your key and symbol.

Theme

embed snippet

<script src="https://tickatlas.com/widgets/embed.js?w=market-pulse&k=wk_YOUR_KEY&symbol=BTCUSD"></script>

Default is light — the snippet stays clean. Pick Dark or Auto (Auto follows each visitor’s system theme) to append &theme= and preview it live.

Embed parameters

The querystring on the embed.js script tag above.

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
w	string	Yes	Widget slug — fixed to “market-pulse” for this widget.
k	string	No	Your public wk_ key. With it the widget goes live on your authorized domains; omit it for the SIMULATED preview (synthetic data, zero network). Default: preview mode.
symbol	symbol	No	The symbol to display, uppercased. Must be within the widget’s allowed set. Allowed: BTCUSD, XAUUSD, EURUSD, GBPUSD. Default: BTCUSD.
mode	enum	No	Force preview even with a key, e.g. for a staging page. Allowed: live, preview. Default: live when k is present, else preview.
theme	enum	No	Colour theme. light (default) is today’s look; dark uses a WCAG-AA dark palette; auto follows each visitor’s system (prefers-color-scheme). Omit for light. Allowed: light, dark, auto. Default: light.

The wk_ key is public by design — it only works on the domains you authorize, and you can revoke it any time from your dashboard.

Data endpoint

The embed calls this hosted endpoint for you on each refresh, using a short-lived token minted from your wk_ key — it never carries your key to the browser. These are its parameters and the values this widget uses.

GET /widgets/api/market-pulse/ohlc

Endpoint parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
symbol	symbol	No	Single-series widgets: one symbol, within the allowed set. Allowed: BTCUSD, XAUUSD, EURUSD, GBPUSD. Default: BTCUSD.
timeframe	enum	No	Candle timeframe. Allowed: M1, M5, M15, M30, H1, H4, D1. Default: H1. This widget pins it to H1.
limit	integer	No	Number of most-recent candles returned. Allowed: 1–500. Default: 100. This widget pins it to 24.

Set symbol on the embed to any one of this widget’s allowed symbols (BTCUSD, XAUUSD, EURUSD, GBPUSD); it defaults to BTCUSD if omitted. A symbol outside this set is rejected by the gateway before any data is fetched, and the widget shows its “unavailable” state.

Response

Every response is a JSON envelope { success, widget, cached, data }. The data object for this widget:

{ symbol, timeframe, candles:[{time,open,high,low,close,volume}], count }

Good to know

Theming & isolation: The widget renders inside a sandboxed Shadow DOM with all:initial, so your page's CSS and scripts can't reach in and its styles can't leak out. It fits the width of its container — never wider — and brings its own light palette.
Refresh, caching & limits: It refreshes about every 15 seconds against cached data, so many visitors collapse to one computation on our side. Requests are rate-limited per key and per domain; over the limit the gateway returns 429 and the widget simply keeps its last frame until the next tick.
When data is unavailable: If a symbol has no current data, the widget shows an explicit “unavailable” / “no data” state — never a fabricated or zeroed value. A revoked key or an unauthorized domain leaves the widget in that same state; it never throws on your page.
Pricing & domain slots: Billed monthly per domain slot. The base ($9.99/mo) covers one domain; each extra slot adds half the base. Slots are fixed at purchase — cancel any time and the embed stays live to the end of the paid month, then stops.
