An ongoing place to start
5,000 requests each month on Free let you test a recurring workload. No card is required. Every plan allows commercial use; no plan needs a credit link. The usage table shows the lowest tier for each request volume, giving a prototype a clear path to a larger workload.
History for gold applications
Daily gold bars reach 1996 on Plus and Pro. Free covers 30 days; Basic covers one year. Each returned observation includes timestamps and staleness flags, so your application can show the age of a price alongside its value. The long daily series supports a different timescale from intraday bars.
One service for code and agents
MCP is included on every plan alongside REST. Gold, silver and copper are on every plan. The same account supports application requests and agent tools, with the access limits of its selected tier.
When they are the better pick
OANDA is the better pick for broad currency coverage and ERP integrations. Its catalogue spans more than 200 currencies, commodities, and metals, with over 32 years of advertised history. Higher-tier features include three-to-five-second spot rates, forwards, and streaming, making the service relevant to business workflows that extend beyond gold.
