How this service works
China market data for AI agents, paid per call in USDC via x402 (HTTP 402). No signup, no API key. Endpoints cover RMB onshore and offshore FX with their spread, Chinese commodity futures main contracts, China equity indices, a Baidu real-time hot-search attention signal, and a one-call cross-asset snapshot. A free /v1/china/sample endpoint returns live samples of every dataset so a client can size the data before paying.
Output
Returns a structured JSON payload containing live or latest-available prices for Chinese commodity futures main contracts, including contract names, exchanges (SHFE, DCE, INE, CZCE), prices, price changes, percentage moves, and trading volume for key commodities such as copper, aluminum, zinc, nickel, iron ore, coking coal, crude oil, and others.
Example use cases
Real-time commodity trading signal
“Pull the latest Chinese commodity futures main contract prices for copper, aluminum, and zinc so I can check if there's a significant move in base metals on the Shanghai exchange today.”
Cross-market arbitrage monitoring
“Give me the current SHFE copper futures price and the DCE iron ore price — I want to compare them against LME and Singapore prices to look for arbitrage opportunities.”
Macro China commodity exposure report
“I'm building a daily report on China's commodity markets — fetch me the latest main contract prices for crude oil, coking coal, and iron ore futures so I can summarize price action.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://china-market-data-api.vercel.app/v1/china/futures?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need real-time or latest-session prices specifically for Chinese domestic commodity futures (SHFE, DCE, INE, CZCE main contracts) without the overhead of API key registration. Ideal for AI agents that need pay-per-call access to China commodity market data via USDC micropayments. Prefer this over generic global futures APIs when the focus is on CNY-denominated Chinese domestic commodity contracts.
