Historical Commodity Prices API Reference

Retrieve OHLC (open, high, low, close) price data for any supported commodity on a specific date. Data is available from January 1990 onwards for 245+ commodities.

GEThttps://api.apifreaks.com/v2.0/commodity/rates/historical

Test

Pass one or more comma-separated commodity symbols and a date in YYYY-MM-DD format. The response contains the opening, high, low, and closing price for each symbol on that date. If a symbol has no rate on the requested date, the API falls back to the last available rate before it and returns that date in the response. If some symbols can't be resolved, a 206 Partial Content response is returned with an unresolved object instead of failing the whole request.
