Trusted Sources
Metals-API’s spot prices are sourced from a very wide base of trade sources and banks around the world, each of them varying types and frequencies. The bigger weighting especially for major currencies and metals, are towards commercial sources as they more accurately reflect the exchange occurring within the markets.
Our system uses a unique “validation and fallback” mechanism to ensure the best possible degree of data coverage and accuracy, assigning different priority to each data source and validating each metal/forex rate as it enters our databases.
In the case that one source fails to offer an accurate quote, the next highest provider for this currency pair is contacted.This allows us to filter out any inconsistencies and deliver the vast majority of spot exchange rates with six decimal places of precision.
Metals API Drupal Module and WordPress Plugin

The drupal module can refresh the rate once a day (every 24 hours) and it will fall within the 50 requests per month that the free license allows. Additional refreshes per day will require a paid license which can be had relatively cheaply.
