Understanding Spot Prices

Spot prices represent the current market price at which a precious metal can be bought or sold for immediate delivery. The API provides both bid and ask prices:

• Bid Price: The price at which buyers are willing to purchase the metal
• Ask Price: The price at which sellers are willing to sell the metal

The difference between the ask and bid prices is known as the spread, which represents the dealer’s profit margin.

​

Market Status

The marketOpen field indicates whether the market for that particular metal is currently open for trading. Markets typically operate Sunday through Friday but may close for holidays or other special circumstances.

​

Price Changes

The API provides two metrics for tracking price changes:

• changePercent: Percentage change in price from the previous day’s close
• changePrice: Absolute price change from the previous day’s close (in USD)
