## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need historical price time series data for physical commodities such as energy (WTI, Brent, natural gas), metals (copper, aluminum), or agricultural goods (wheat, corn, cotton, sugar, coffee). Prefer this over general market data endpoints when the asset is a commodity rather than a stock, forex pair, or crypto token.
