API Reference

Live Gold Rates

Returns the latest CFD-based spot rate for gold (XAU), including bid and ask prices. Rates are sourced from live OTC market feeds and reflect real-world traded prices.

Endpoint

GET/v2/rates/latest/xau

Lite plan users receive rates in USD and data may be delayed by up to 10 minutes. The quote parameter is not available on this plan. Premium and Plus users receive real-time rates and can request any supported quote currency.

Authentication

X-API-Keyheader · stringrequired

Your unique API key, passed as a request header. Find it in your dashboard.

Query Parameters

quotestringoptionalPremium & Plus

The target currency to convert the rate into. If omitted, the commodity's native quote currency (USD) is used. Lite plan users cannot use this parameter — it is silently ignored.

includestringoptional

The unit to express the rate in. Additional unit-specific fields are appended to the rate object alongside the base troy ounce rate. Accepted values:

gram— appends a gram field with the per-gram rate (1 troy oz ÷ 31.1035)
tola— appends a tola field with the per-tola rate (1 troy oz ÷ 2.66667)
carat— appends a carats object with per-gram rates for 24k, 22k, 21k, 20k, 18k, 16k, 14k, 12k, 10k, 9k, and 8k purity

The base rate, bid, and ask fields are always returned in troy ounce regardless of this parameter.

Response Fields

successboolean

Always true for 200 responses. Indicates the request was processed successfully.

timestampnumber

Unix timestamp (seconds) of when the rate was generated on the server.

rates.XAUobject

Rate data for XAU. Includes rate (mid-market price per troy ounce), bid (highest buy price), and ask (lowest sell price). Additional fields — gram, tola, or carats — are present only when the include parameter is passed.

metadata.XAUobject

Context for the returned rate — the unit it's expressed in (T.oz) and the quote currency (e.g. USD, or whichever currency was requested).
