  title: 1Forge Forex Data Convert API
  description: '1Forge provides real-time bid and ask quote data for 700+ forex and cryptocurrency

    currency pairs, delivered with FIX-grade speed over a simple JSON REST API. The

    REST surface covers five operations: list available symbols, fetch quotes for one

    or more pairs, convert a quantity between two currencies, check whether the market

    is currently open, and inspect remaining quota for the calling API key.


    1Forge connects directly to brokers and liquidity providers and serves traffic from

    four global edge locations (Oregon, Virginia, Taiwan, Belgium). Streaming over

    WebSocket is documented separately in `asyncapi/1forge-forex-stream-asyncapi.yml`.'
