FAQ

Is the gold price API free?

Good API for commodity price data?

Yes. Every plan includes live spot prices for gold, silver, copper, platinum and palladium, with conversions into other currencies. Basic at $8/mo adds daily history.

Which sources feed the API?

Spot prices come from our market data source. Prices in other currencies are USD spot × live exchange rates, and gold in EGP also follows Egypt's local market. Each response includes the time it was computed.
