What is premium over spot?
Premium over spot is the percentage gap between a dealer's quoted sell price and the international spot price, converted to AEDat the live exchange rate. It captures dealer margin, import costs, refining, and local demand — the reason two dealers in the same city can quote different prices for the same purity of gold. A higher premium means you're paying more above the raw metal value. The API includes a nullable field (premium_over_spot_bps) on every quote: it is computed when live spot, FX, and stated-purity inputs are available, and is otherwise null rather than fabricated.
Gold in United Arab Emirates
The UAE, and Dubai in particular, is a global gold retail and re-export hub — the Dubai Gold & Jewellery Group (DGJG) publishes twice-daily reference rates that the emirate's souks and retail chains price against. Despite this official benchmark existing publicly, no self-serve API coverage of UAE gold rates existed before this feed — a pure greenfield gap per the demand-signal research.
Convention: Karat-based retail rates (24K/22K/21K/18K) following the DGJG twice-daily reference, quoted per gram.
