What is confirmed
- FXCM’s own vendor repositories are still being pushed. fxcm/ForexConnectAPI, 193 stars, last pushed 10 Sep 2026.
- fxcm/JavaAPI, 50 stars, last pushed 9 Jul 2026.
- Public repository creation around FXCM has all but stopped. Of 259 public repositories matching fxcm, 27 were created in the last 12 months, which is 10 per cent and the lowest recency share we measured in the latest reading.
- A third party guide dated June 2026 describes and sells an FXCM REST API.
Repository figures read 20 Sep 2026 from the api.github.com search endpoint. The full reading is on the GitHub page.
What is not confirmed
- Whether FXCM offers a REST API to retail clients today. We did not find one listed by FXCM.
- Whether the API the third party guide sells is a current FXCM product, a legacy one, or something else carrying the name.
- Nothing on this page was tested. We hold no FXCM account and we called no FXCM endpoint, so this is a reading of published material and not a test of an API.
ForexConnect is not REST. A maintained repository tells you the vendor is still shipping code for that product. It tells you nothing about whether a REST product exists, is open to new clients, or is documented.
What to do
- Ask FXCM in writing what API access it offers today, and to which account types, before you write any code against a third party description of it.
- Treat a third party guide that post dates the vendor’s own silence as unconfirmed, however recent its date is, and whatever it charges.
- If the answer comes back as ForexConnect rather than REST, the two repositories above are where the maintained code is.
- If you get a written answer from FXCM, send it to us and we will publish it with its date.
