Metals-API receives market data prices in a range of formats and frequencies from a variety of trade sources and organizations throughout the world. Commercial sources are given more weight because they better reflect market exchange, especially for large currencies and commodities.
Our system uses a unique “validation and fallback” mechanism that gives different priorities to each data source and validates each metal/forex rate as it enters our databases to achieve the maximum level of data coverage and accuracy possible. If a source fails to offer an accurate quote, the currency pair’s next highest provider is contacted.This allows us to eliminate potential mistakes and give six decimal places of precision for the vast majority of spot exchange rates.
