The LBMA Price API is designed to provide accurate and up-to-date information on precious metals prices.
The API returns price data using different currencies of your choice as a basis, ensuring consistency and simplicity for international use. One of its main features is the ability to obtain current and historical prices from the LBMA. Each answer includes not only the USD price, but also the inverse rate, allowing users to easily calculate how many dollars are needed to purchase a single unit of metal. This is especially useful for applications that require dual conversion rates or bidirectional pricing tools.

The LBMA Price API provides real-time and historical prices for precious metals, specifically gold, from the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA).
You can access current and historical LBMA metals prices, as well as inverse rates for conversions, which are useful for trading, analysis, and monitoring.
The API allows you to obtain price data in various currencies of your choice, ensuring consistency and simplicity for international users.
The inverse rate indicates how many dollars are needed to purchase a single unit of metal, making it easier for users to perform dual conversions or utilize bidirectional pricing tools.
Traders, analysts, and anyone monitoring precious metal prices can benefit from the LBMA Price API, as it provides accurate and up-to-date pricing information essential for informed decision-making.
The GET Latest Price endpoint returns the current prices of precious metals, including the USD price and inverse rates for various currencies. It provides data for specific metal symbols, allowing users to access real-time pricing information.
The GET Historical Price endpoint requires three parameters: a currency, a date, and a metal symbol. This allows users to specify the exact historical price data they need for analysis or reporting.
The response data is structured in a JSON format, typically including fields such as the metal symbol, price, currency, and inverse rate. This organization allows for easy parsing and integration into applications.
Key fields in the response include the metal symbol, current price in the specified currency, inverse rate, and timestamp. These fields provide essential information for users to make informed decisions.
The GET Historical Price endpoint provides historical pricing data for precious metals on a specified date, including the price in the chosen currency and the corresponding inverse rate for that date.
Users can customize their requests by selecting different currencies and metal symbols as parameters for both the GET Latest Price and GET Historical Price endpoints, allowing for tailored data retrieval.
Typical use cases include financial analysis, trading strategies, market monitoring, and investment decision-making, where accurate and timely precious metals pricing is crucial.
Data accuracy is maintained through sourcing from the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA), which ensures that the prices reflect real-time market conditions and undergoes regular quality checks for reliability.
