Endpoint
GEThttps://api.tradeenergy-api.workers.dev/api/energy/iron-ore-62-percent-fe?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need the World Bank's official monthly iron ore reference price (FRED series PIORECRUSDM) in USD per dry metric ton with historical context. It is ideal for commodity pricing models, trade finance dashboards, or macroeconomic analysis. It is NOT the Platts 62% Fe CFR Qingdao real-time spot price; prefer it for official reference/benchmark use cases rather than intraday spot trading.
Side effects
- FRED upstream unavailable: may return stale or empty data
- Invalid 'months' parameter (outside 1–24 range): may default or return error
- Payment not processed (x402 protocol failure): request rejected before data returned
- No recent data if FRED has not published the current month yet
