Are the Banx Network widgets really free?

Yes. There is no cost, no API key and no signup for the embeddable widgets. Paste the iframe snippet into your site and it works. The only condition is that the "Powered by Banx Network" attribution stays visible.

Do I need an API key to embed a widget?

No. The widgets are keyless. A free API key is only needed for the REST API, which is for server-side integrations, and it is issued instantly at /developers.

Will the widget slow my site down?

It loads in an iframe with no JavaScript, so it cannot block your page rendering or conflict with your CSS. Responses are cached at the edge for 60 seconds.

News Feed

News

A vertical list of recent stories with thumbnails, section labels and dates. Suited to a sidebar or a content column. Updates continuously — you paste the snippet once and it stays current.

News Ticker

News

A horizontal ticker that scrolls the latest headlines. Designed to sit directly under a site header. It is the lowest-commitment embed we offer — one line of HTML and roughly 40 pixels of vertical space. Scrolling pauses on hover and is disabled entirely for visitors who have asked for reduced motion.

Need the data instead of a widget?

If you would rather render our headlines yourself, the REST API returns the same feed as JSON. A free key is issued instantly — no approval queue.

Questions

Is this really free?

Yes — no cost, no key, no signup. The one condition is that the “Powered by Banx Network” attribution stays visible.

Can I restyle it?

Light and dark themes are supported via the theme parameter. Because the widget renders in an iframe, your own CSS cannot reach inside it — which is also why it can never break your layout. For bespoke styling, use the REST API and render it yourself.

Are there rate limits?

The widgets are limited per embedding domain and cached for 60 seconds, which is far beyond what a normal site needs. The REST API free tier allows 1,000 requests a day.

What about a price widget?

A BXE price ticker is planned. It is not shipped yet because our current pricing path queries the XRP Ledger order book directly, which is too slow to run on every impression across other people’s sites. It ships once there is a cached price endpoint behind it.
