WHY TERMINALFEED'S BITCOIN TICKER
  • Sub second updates. Direct WebSocket connections to Binance and Coinbase on the live dashboard. Most free tickers poll every 5 to 60 seconds.
  • Automatic failover. Binance and Coinbase stream side by side, so if one drops the other keeps the ticker moving. If both drop, it polls the TerminalFeed API every ten seconds.
  • Free forever. No account, no subscription, no rate limit on the public API.
  • Ad free. No banners, no popups, no crypto shill.
  • Embeddable. Put a live Bitcoin ticker on your own site from terminalfeed.io/widgets.
  • Mobile optimized. The ticker throttles to three second updates on mobile to save battery without going stale.
REAL-TIME BITCOIN PRICE SOURCES

The live dashboard ticker streams from two exchanges at once: Binance trade ticks and the Coinbase BTC-USD ticker, both over WebSocket with zero polling interval. Whichever stream is reachable drives the price. That matters because Binance blocks most US visitors, and corporate networks or aggressive ad blockers can block either one. If neither stream connects, the ticker polls the TerminalFeed API every ten seconds. The ticker on this page reads that same API every three seconds, and the label above it shows which upstream answered.

This layered setup means TerminalFeed's Bitcoin ticker keeps working when single source tickers go stale. You can also pull the latest price directly from the public API at /api/btc-price, which returns JSON with CORS enabled and no authentication required. It takes the price from an exchange, trying Binance first, then Coinbase, then Kraken, and names the one that answered in its source field. Aggregate volume and market cap come from CoinLore.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is the Bitcoin ticker free?
Yes. No signup, no subscription, no rate limit. Anyone can view the ticker or embed it.
How often does the Bitcoin price update?
On desktop the main dashboard ticker updates every second via Binance and Coinbase WebSockets. On mobile it throttles to every three seconds to preserve battery life. Most competing free tickers update every 5 to 60 seconds.
What if Binance goes down?
Coinbase keeps it ticking. Both exchange streams run side by side, so losing one is silent. If both drop, the ticker polls the TerminalFeed API every ten seconds instead.
Can I embed the Bitcoin ticker on my site?
Yes. Embed code is available at terminalfeed.io/widgets. The embeddable ticker is sandboxed and ad free.
Does the ticker have an API?
Yes. The endpoint is https://terminalfeed.io/api/btc-price. It returns JSON, is CORS enabled, and requires no authentication.
Where else can I see real time data on TerminalFeed?
The main TerminalFeed dashboard shows 100+ live panels in one view: top crypto movers, stock prices, the Fear and Greed Index, Polymarket prediction markets, earthquake activity, space launches, and more.
