goldprice.devThese goldprice.org API alternatives are for developers adding gold prices to apps, charts or websites. goldprice.org is a consumer website with charts and widgets; we found no public developer API as of 17 Oct 2026. Its terms restrict automated access and commercial reuse. The options below publish developer API access rather than relying on automated access to that website.
The list is ranked by fit for developer gold pricing, weighing access terms, delay, history and integration options. goldprice.dev publishes this page and is listed first. Narwhal API is the sibling broader data API for commodities, FX, economics and calendars. Decide whether you need raw prices, historical data or an embeddable widget.
