(openPR) - Today, the virtual currency exchange VirWoX unveiled a new API (Application Programming Interface), enabling software tools written by external developers to access its service.
"With thousands of customers, hundreds of thousands of transactions, and over 300 million Linden dollars traded so far, the VirWoX server has proven its stability. We now enter the next phase by opening our API to third-party developers, who wish to access the VirWoX exchange from their own applications or products, or to build new exciting applications that require access to a virtual currency exchange. VirWoX is the first and only virtual currency exchange with such an open programming interface" says Iliana Suppan, managing director of Virtual World Services GmbH, the company behind euroSLEX and now VirWoX.
In a first step, the company releases the "Basic API", which enables simple, read-only access to real-time and historical market data. Later, it will add the "Transactional API", which will give software developers access to the full exchange functionality, including automatic trading.
VirWoX is the "Virtual World Exchange", currently for trading Linden dollars against the Euro, US Dollar, British Pound, and Swiss Franc. The current price as determined by the market forces of supply and demand gives VirWoX customers access to the best price available under current market conditions. The fully automatic trading platform at www.virwox.com reduces manual intervention to a minimum, which means lowest commissions of just 0.5% to 2.5%, depending on trading volume. The service is operated by Virtual World Services GmbH, a real-world company registered in Austria with the mission to bring a new level of professionalism and trust to Second Life.
VirWoX is a registered trademark of Virtual World Services GmbH. Second Life and the Linden dollar are trademarks of Linden Research, Inc. Virtual World Services GmbH and VirWoX are not affiliated with or sponsored by Linden Research.
