How this service works
commodities.sh prices
Output
Returns a JSON object containing the commodity price value (number), unit (e.g. USD/troy oz), instrument name, quality descriptor, as_of and observed_at timestamps, a freshness_class indicating data recency, a license_tag, and a boolean indicating whether the price is derived or directly observed.
Example use cases

“Check the current price of gold on commodities.sh and let me know if it has crossed $2,000 per troy ounce — include the freshness class so I know how current the data is.”
Energy trading dashboard feed
“Fetch the latest price for crude oil from commodities.sh, including the unit, quality grade, and observed timestamp, so I can update my trading dashboard.”
Commodity price enrichment for invoices
“I need to price a shipment of copper — can you look up the current copper spot price on commodities.sh and give me the value, unit, and whether the price is derived or directly observed?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.commodities.sh/v1/pricesWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need current commodity spot prices with accompanying metadata such as quality, freshness class, and whether the value is derived — particularly useful for financial agents, trading dashboards, or invoice-pricing workflows that need more than just a raw number. Best suited for per-call, real-time lookups rather than bulk historical data retrieval.
Side effects
- Missing or invalid instrument parameter returns an error or empty result
- Rate limiting or payment failure (402 Payment Required) if x402 payment is not correctly attached
- Stale data if the freshness_class indicates the price has not been recently updated
- Unsupported commodity instrument returns no result or an error
- Network timeout resulting in no response
