## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time, pay-per-call precious metal spot prices without a subscription commitment. It is well-suited for agents that only occasionally need commodity pricing, or for lightweight dashboards and portfolio tools that want to avoid maintaining their own data feed subscription. Prefer it over manually scraping financial sites or using delayed free-tier APIs when freshness and reliability matter.

## Known failure modes

- Market data feed unavailable — upstream provider outage returns error or stale data
- Invalid or unsupported metal symbol requested — returns error or empty result
- Payment failure on Base chain — request not processed if x402 micropayment is rejected
- Rate limit exceeded — too many requests in a short window
- Network timeout if the pricing source is slow to respond
