One call, any price.
Ask for the metal, currency, unit and purity you actually sell in. The conversion happens on our side, against the live quote, so there's no arithmetic to layer on top.

Illustrative prices. Requests leave out your API key and responses are shortened; every call also returns bid, ask, spread, the source instrument and a timestamp.
Prices you can rely on.
Built from the market itself, not scraped from other sites or averaged into a composite.
Tier-1 liquidity only
Global banks and top-tier ECNs, aggregated into a single tradable order book with best-execution top-of-book pricing.
Both sides of the market
Bid, ask, mid and spread on every call, so you see how wide the market is, not just a midpoint.
