Export historical CSV / ExcelAbout Silver (XAGUSD)
XAGUSD tracks the spot price of one troy ounce of silver in US dollars. Silver sits at the boundary between a monetary metal and an industrial input, so its price responds both to investment flows and to manufacturing demand, and it quotes across the trading week.
Rather than mirror a single source, SiftingIO builds one consolidated silver price and serves it through plain REST calls. The snapshot endpoint returns the current price, bid, ask, and a Unix millisecond timestamp; calculate the spread as ask minus bid. A trade endpoint gives the latest price with size and time. Authentication is a single X-API-Key header.
Historical silver bars, open through close plus volume, are available over REST from one-minute resolution upward, which is enough for intraday studies or multi-year charts. The complete available silver archive is included on every plan, including Free. Its depth depends on the underlying source coverage; the pricing page summarizes the history available by market.
SiftingIO delivers real-time silver prices over REST and WebSocket. Each silver price is a volume and reputation weighted median across independent venues, with a Unix millisecond timestamp on the public tick. The methodology page explains the aggregation.
