Are these real-time prices or delayed?
The API provides near real-time futures prices that are updated periodically throughout trading hours. Prices reflect the latest available futures contract data from CME, NYMEX, and CBOT exchanges. During market hours, updates are frequent. Outside trading hours, prices reflect the last traded values. Each price response includes an updated_at timestamp showing when the data was last refreshed.
Can I get prices for multiple commodities at once?
Yes! Use the specialized tools get_precious_metals_prices, get_energy_commodities_prices, or get_agriculture_commodities_prices to fetch multiple related commodities in a single call. You can also call individual commodity tools like get_gold_price, get_crude_oil_price, etc. for specific quotes. Each tool is designed to give you the most relevant prices for that market segment.
