Commodity Price API for Indian Businesses
Real-time gold (22K/24K), silver, diamond, and platinum prices localised for India — with city-wise variations, GST-inclusive rates, and historical trends. Built for jewellery retail, investment apps, and fintech platforms.
What is a Commodity Price API?
A Commodity Price API is a REST interface that returns live gold, silver, diamond, and platinum prices for the Indian market. It provides structured JSON data with city-wise variations, GST-inclusive rates, and historical trends for jewellery, investment, and fintech platforms.
Gold and silver prices in India vary by city — Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi, and Jaipur each have slightly different rates published by local jewellery associations. Our API pulls these from authoritative sources multiple times per day and makes them available through a single query endpoint. Diamond and platinum prices are updated daily.
Jewellery retailers use it to display live rates on product pages. Digital gold and savings platforms use it for transaction pricing. Trading apps use it for real-time charting. Loan-against-gold fintechs use it for collateral valuation. Any product where precious metal prices affect pricing, transactions, or reporting benefits from automatic, reliable access to current rates.
