x402
The Vault Report Squeeze Brief API is a paid API for AI agents from thevaultreport.com, paid per call via x402, $2/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).
Returns a physical-squeeze intelligence brief for a specified metal, bundling COMEX delivery pace, registered/eligible warehouse stocks, COT managed-money positioning, physical premiums, LME stocks, and anomaly flags into a single call.

How this service works
Real-time COMEX and LME warehouse inventory, COT positioning, EIA oil data, and ETF flows. Physical-market intelligence the paper market ignores.
Output
A JSON object containing six data sections for the requested metal: (1) physical premiums across venues with average ex-tax premium %, (2) anomaly board with count and top anomalies scored by abnormality, (3) LME stock availability flag and readout, (4) COT managed-money net positioning with historical percentile, (5) COMEX delivery pace with latest month oz, prior 6-month median oz, and ratio, (6) COMEX registered and eligible warehouse stocks with total oz, 30-day change %, and historical percentile — each section includes a human-readable readout and a tightening/neutral/unavailable flag.
Example use cases
Gold short-squeeze risk assessment
“Can you check whether gold is at risk of a physical short squeeze? I want to see the COMEX registered inventory percentile, how fast deliveries are running versus the 6-month median, and how crowded managed-money longs are.”
Silver physical premium monitoring
“What are the physical premiums on silver across COMEX venues right now, and is the registered inventory tight? Pull the Vault Report squeeze brief for silver.”
Copper LME and COMEX cross-market check
“Get me the Vault Report squeeze brief for copper — I need to see LME stock status, COMEX delivery pace, and any anomaly flags to decide whether the paper price is disconnected from physical supply.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://thevaultreport.com/api/x402/squeeze-brief/%7Bmetal%7DWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a single, pre-aggregated physical-market intelligence brief for a commodity metal that combines warehouse inventory, positioning, delivery pace, and premium data in one call — rather than querying COMEX, LME, CFTC, and EIA feeds separately. Ideal for agents monitoring squeeze risk, building commodity research reports, or alerting on physical-vs-paper market divergences. Prefer over raw data feeds when you want human-readable readouts and pre-computed percentile ranks.
Side effects
- Metal symbol not supported returns an error or empty sections
- LME stocks unavailable for non-LME metals (e.g. gold) — section returns flag: unavailable
- Stale data if underlying COMEX/COT/EIA feeds are delayed — generated_at timestamp indicates freshness
- Payment not processed (HTTP 402) if x402 USDC payment fails
- Invalid path parameter format returns a 400 or unrecognized metal error
