APIs for Jewellery & Investment
Built for India's Gold Economy
The complete API stack for Indian jewellery retailers, digital gold platforms, and investment apps — live gold, silver, and diamond rates, investor KYC, bank verification, and fraud detection. Stop updating prices manually. Automate everything.
What's Slowing Down Indian Jewellery
India is the world's second-largest gold market — but jewellery retailers and investment platforms still hit the same operational walls as they scale:
1. Manual price updates don't scale. Gold prices change multiple times per day. Updating prices across product pages, pricing calculators, and catalogues manually is impossible at scale. Errors creep in. Customers see stale rates.
2. City-wise price variations are complex. Gold rates differ across Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, and Jaipur — and even within states. Keeping track of every city's rate manually is a full-time job.
3. KYC and bank verification slow onboarding. Digital gold platforms must verify investor KYC before allowing purchases. Manual verification takes hours. Conversion drops at the verification step.
4. Vendor sprawl slows integration. One vendor for gold prices, another for KYC, another for bank verification — each with its own API key, dashboard, and support team. Integration takes weeks. Maintenance never stops.
API Express solves all four.
The Jewellery Stack — 4 APIs, One Key
This is what leading Indian jewellery retailers, digital gold platforms, and LAG fintechs use on API Express.
Commodity Price API
Live gold (22K/24K), silver, diamond, and platinum rates for 60+ Indian cities. Updated multiple times per day. GST-inclusive and exclusive. Historical trends. Fully automated — zero manual updates.
Verification API (KYC)
Aadhaar OTP, PAN, DL, and Voter ID verification. Essential for digital gold platform compliance, KYC for high-value jewellery purchases, and loan-against-gold borrower onboarding. Full audit trails.
UPI / Bank Verification
Validate bank accounts and UPI VPAs before high-value jewellery purchases, digital gold SIPs, and LAG loan disbursements. Penny drop with beneficiary name match eliminates payout fraud.
Cyber Security Verification
Detect fraudulent purchases, account takeovers, and synthetic identities. High-value jewellery transactions are prime targets for fraud. Score every transaction for risk in under 200ms.
From App Open to Gold Credited in Under 3 Seconds
Here's how a digital gold platform uses API Express to automate the entire purchase flow — no manual price updates, no verification delays.
App calls Commodity Price API to fetch live gold rate for the user's city. Displays current price — no manual updates needed.
User selects amount (₹500, ₹1,000, custom). KYC verification runs if first-time user or amount exceeds threshold.
KYC API verifies identity (Aadhaar OTP / PAN). Bank Verification confirms the payment account. Both in under 5 seconds combined.
Cyber Security API returns risk score in under 200ms. High-risk transactions flagged for additional verification. Low-risk auto-approve.
Payment debited. Gold grams credited to user wallet at the exact rate captured at step 1. Purchase confirmation sent.
Zero manual price updates. Zero KYC delays. Zero transaction failures from invalid bank accounts.

The API Platform Built for India's Gold Economy
Choosing an API provider is a long-term decision. Here's what makes API Express different for jewellery and investment.
Gold prices differ by city. Our API returns the correct rate for Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Bengaluru, and 60+ other cities — not a national average.
Gold and silver rates update multiple times per day, tracking live MCX and IBJA movements. Your platform always shows current market rates.
Both rates returned in the response. Retail uses GST-inclusive, trading uses exclusive. Your choice per query, no calculation needed.
Access price history for charting, forecasting, and investment reporting. Day, month, and year change indicators pre-computed.
Our solutions team includes specialists who understand jewellery retail and investment workflows. Support response under 4 hours.
Your first 1,000 API calls free — no credit card. Test live gold rates, KYC, and bank verification in sandbox before going live.
How a Jaipur Jewellery Brand Eliminated Manual Price Updates
The challenge: Updating gold prices across 12 outlets and the e-commerce site was taking 2+ hours per day. Prices on the website were often stale. Customers complained about discrepancies.
The solution: Integrated Commodity Price API. Website and in-store POS now display live rates automatically. Zero manual updates. Prices are always current.
Client name withheld as per agreement. Metrics verified over a 4-month period.
