API Description

The Metals-API is designed to provide developers with the tools they need to build next-generation applications that require real-time metals data. With a focus on innovation and technological advancement, this API empowers users to access a variety of endpoints that deliver critical information about precious metals.

For instance, the API's Latest Rates Endpoint allows users to retrieve real-time exchange rate data for gold and other metals. Depending on your subscription plan, this data can be updated every 60 minutes or even every 10 minutes, ensuring that you have the most current information at your fingertips.

Additionally, the Historical Rates Endpoint provides access to historical pricing data dating back to 2019, allowing traders to analyze trends and make informed predictions about future price movements. By appending a specific date to the API request, users can easily query historical rates for any metal.

Another powerful feature is the Bid and Ask Endpoint, which enables users to retrieve real-time bid and ask prices for gold and other metals. This information is crucial for traders looking to execute trades at optimal prices.

The Convert Endpoint is another valuable tool, allowing users to convert any amount from one metal to another or to/from USD. This functionality is particularly useful for traders who deal with multiple currencies and need to quickly assess the value of their holdings.

For those interested in tracking price fluctuations, the Fluctuation Endpoint provides insights into how prices change on a day-to-day basis. This feature is essential for understanding market volatility and making strategic trading decisions.

The Time-Series Endpoint allows users to query the API for daily historical rates between two dates of their choice, providing a comprehensive view of price movements over time. This data can be invaluable for backtesting trading strategies and analyzing market trends.

Moreover, the Lowest/Highest Price Endpoint enables users to query the API for the lowest and highest prices of gold over a specified period, while the Open/High/Low/Close (OHLC) Price Endpoint provides detailed pricing data for a specific time period, including the opening, high, low, and closing prices.

For those interested in the London Metal Exchange (LME), the Historical LME Endpoint offers access to historical rates for LME symbols dating back to 2008, allowing traders to analyze long-term trends in the market.

To access the API, users must utilize their unique API Key, which is passed into the API base URL's access_key parameter. This key ensures secure access to the API's features and data.
