Choosing a Commodities & Metals API
Is there a free Commodities & Metals API?
Yes. KmalServico Gold Price Dataset, StackerScan and The Gold Barometer are free to use, and MetalpriceAPI, OilPriceAPI, Goldprice.dev and Metal Sentinel have a free tier alongside paid plans.
Which Commodities & Metals APIs work without an API key?
AlQANAAS Gold Data, KmalServico Gold Price Dataset, StackerScan and The Gold Barometer need no key or sign-up, so you can try them with a plain request.
Can I call a Commodities & Metals API from front-end JavaScript?
AlQANAAS Gold Data, StackerScan and The Gold Barometer allow cross-origin requests and need no key, so they work straight from the browser. For the others, call them from your server so your key stays private.
Can I use Commodities & Metals APIs in a commercial project?
OilPriceAPI, Metal Sentinel and The Gold Barometer permit commercial use. MetalpriceAPI, Goldprice.dev and AlQANAAS Gold Data restrict it, for example to non-commercial or attributed use, so read the terms first.
Which Commodities & Metals APIs work with AI agents?
StackerScan has both an MCP server and an OpenAPI spec. Goldprice.dev has an MCP server, so an AI agent can call it directly. OilPriceAPI publishes an OpenAPI spec for generating clients and tools.
