Market data APIs for pricing and valuation tools

Build jewelry melt-value calculators, precious-metal pricing tools, FX converters, quote estimators, and embedded valuation widgets with current prices and historical market data.

How it works

Current market data in, useful customer answers out.

Pricing tools often need a small number of reliable market inputs rather than a full trading interface. Retrieve the relevant prices, apply the product's calculation rules, and present the result in a form users can immediately understand.

Use cases

What teams build with a few market inputs.

Jewelry and precious-metal calculators

Use current gold, silver, platinum, and other supported metal prices to calculate indicative melt values across weights, purities, and user-defined scenarios.

FX and currency converters

Use current foreign-exchange rates to power international pricing, currency conversion, travel tools, payment estimates, and cross-border calculators.

Quote and cost estimators

Combine current market prices with quantities, costs, margins, or other application rules to produce transparent customer estimates.

Embedded valuation widgets

Add market-linked values to product pages, dashboards, marketplaces, portfolio tools, and other customer-facing applications.

Capabilities

Market data that fits focused pricing workflows.

Current market prices

Retrieve current commodity, FX, crypto, or stock prices for calculators, converters, valuation interfaces, and customer-facing estimates.

Historical context

Add charts, comparisons, and prior-period context using historical OHLCV where supported by the selected market and plan.

Predictable data usage

Retrieve the required prices at a cadence appropriate to the application rather than generating an upstream request for every visitor interaction.

Flexible calculation logic

Use market prices as defaults while allowing the application to apply quantities, weights, purities, currencies, margins, or user-entered assumptions.

Public implementation

FAQ

Pricing tools and calculators: common questions

Can I use SiftingIO for a jewelry or precious-metal calculator?

Yes. Supported commodity identifiers include gold, silver, platinum, energy, industrial metals, and agricultural reference series. Applications can retrieve the required prices and apply their own weight, purity, quantity, or valuation rules.

Can users enter their own assumed market price?

Yes. An application can use the current market value as the default while allowing users to enter a custom price for scenario analysis. The calculation behavior remains under the application's control.

Can I add historical charts to a calculator?

Yes, where historical OHLCV is available for the selected market and plan. Historical data can support trend charts, comparisons, and prior-period context.

Should a public calculator request the API separately for every visitor?

Usually not. A public tool can retrieve the required prices securely and reuse them for an appropriate period based on its refresh requirements. The exact setup depends on the product and traffic pattern.

Can SiftingIO be credited as the data provider?

Yes. A concise attribution such as “Market data powered by SiftingIO” may link to the relevant SiftingIO product page.

Which plan is appropriate for a small calculator?

The appropriate plan depends on the number of symbols, refresh schedule, monthly API usage, display requirements, and commercial use. The Free plan can be used for evaluation before reviewing whether a paid plan is needed.
