Mithqal — مثقال ← Back to the site
Free widget

The gold price, on your site, in the units your customers use

Ounce, gram and mithqal — live, in two lines of HTML. No account, no key, no tracking, and nothing to pay. Built for jewellers, Arabic news pages and anyone tired of quoting a number they had to guess.

Paste this where you want it

<iframe src="https://mithqal-v2.varqelohq.com/embed/price" width="320" height="250"
        style="border:0" loading="lazy" title="Gold price"></iframe>

Add ?theme=light or ?theme=dark to pin the palette; leave it off and the widget follows the visitor's system setting.

What it looks like

What it promises, and what it does not

  • The world price of gold (XAUUSD), refreshed every minute. It is not what a shop charges: local premium, workmanship and margin are yours to add, and the widget says so on its own face.
  • Gram at 24k and 21k (875/1000 fine), and the mithqal at 4.25g — the arithmetic is printed here so nobody has to trust it: gram = ounce ÷ 31.1034768.
  • When our feed goes quiet the widget stops claiming to be live instead of showing a stale number under a green dot.
  • No cookies, no analytics, no fingerprinting. It reads one public endpoint and draws it.

Why we give it away

Because the number should be right everywhere, and because a link back from a shop that actually sells gold is worth more to us than an advert. That is the whole arrangement: you get a real price, we get a credit line in the corner.

If you want the rest — the engine, the published record, the alerts — it is through the front door. The widget costs nothing and asks for nothing.
