Hey everyone 👋
I’m excited to share a project I’ve been working on — GoldPriceInTurkey.com
, a live platform that provides real-time gold prices in Turkey in Turkish Lira (TRY), Euro (EUR), and US Dollar (USD).
This project started as a simple idea: to make gold market data in Turkey transparent, easy to understand, and accessible for everyone — from investors to everyday users.
⚙️ Tech Stack and Architecture
To make it fast, reliable, and accurate, I used:
Next.js for static and dynamic page rendering
Tailwind CSS for a clean and responsive UI
Node.js and cron jobs for live price updates
API integration with international gold markets and Turkish exchange rate sources
SEO & NLP optimization for Arabic, English, and Turkish search engines
The platform updates live gold prices, charts, and currency conversions automatically, giving users the latest data without refreshing.
📊 Key Features
🕐 Live gold price updates (in TRY, USD, and EUR)
💰 Gold bar and coin prices by karat (24K, 22K, 21K, etc.)
📅 Historical price charts for analysis
💹 Currency and ounce conversion calculators
🧠 Educational articles on investment strategies and market trends
🇹🇷 Localized content designed for Turkish users and investors
🌍 SEO & Data Challenges
Working on a multilingual, multi-currency financial website meant handling:
Real-time data synchronization from multiple APIs
Proper SEO localization in Arabic and Turkish
Maintaining fast page loads despite frequent content updates
Handling time-based caching to reduce API calls but still keep accuracy
🔒 Transparency and Trust
Since the website is data-driven, accuracy and transparency were top priorities.
We included:
Automatic timestamps for each price update
Source links for all market data
EEAT principles (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) in every article
🚀 What’s Next
I’m planning to:
Add a mobile-first PWA version
Introduce AI-based price prediction tools
Publish an open API for developers who want to use gold price data in their own apps
