Data API widgets: embedding PAMM Iran data on your site

If you run a website, blog or analysis channel, showing rates and track records manually is slow and quickly outdated. Data API widgets show the same table or chart live on your page and refreshes itself as data changes. The key advantage: the figure comes from the official source, and readers can open the underlying page in one click.

Widget types and where each fits

How to embed Data API widgets

1. Choose the page: open the “Embed” or “Widget code” section on the account, basket or contest page.
2. Pick the format: iframe is the simplest across sites; JavaScript suits pages where the height should adjust automatically.
3. Paste the snippet: drop it into the page HTML or template editor. Public widgets need no library or API key.
4. Check rendering: verify the width works on mobile and desktop.
5. Credit the source: add the PAMM Iran name and a link beneath the widget so readers know where the data comes from.

Widget or API?

If you only need to display data, a widget is enough. If you need data inside your own calculations, mobile app or client dashboard, the Data API is the right tool. The API has access keys, rate limits and its own documentation.

• Widget: ready-made, no coding, ideal for sites and blogs.
• API: full flexibility, requires a key and implementation, ideal for products and dashboards.

Rules and limits

• Branding: display widgets with the PAMM Iran brand; removing the logo or hiding the source is not allowed.
• No data manipulation: altering values or modifying the widget code destroys the credibility of the data and is prohibited.
• Rate limits: each widget has a request ceiling; dozens of widgets on one page can slow or break rendering.
• Fallback state: if data is unavailable the widget shows a fallback message; do not hide it with CSS.

When a widget is the wrong choice

A widget is the wrong tool when you need to store history, combine several sources or feed a calculation. Widgets render a live view; they do not expose a queryable dataset. If your page answers questions such as “what was the average drawdown across these accounts last quarter”, you need the API and your own storage, not a widget. Choosing the widget for that job produces a page that looks complete but cannot answer the question it promises.

Frequently asked questions

Are widgets free?

Public widgets are free for educational and media use; read the API and widgets documentation for broad commercial use.

Do widgets work on sites without HTTPS?

Most widgets are designed for HTTPS; enable HTTPS on your site first so rendering is not blocked.

Can I match the widget colours to my brand?

Some widgets accept colour and size parameters. Do not override undocumented styling by editing the iframe internals.

What happens when an account or contest closes?

The widget shows a “data unavailable” state; use widgets for evergreen content rather than short-lived events.

The bottom line

PAMM Iran data widgets are a fast, trustworthy way to show live data on your site — provided you respect branding, never alter the data and move to the API for complex use cases. Full documentation: data widget guide.
