Commodities delivers institutional-grade futures data from CME, NYMEX, COMEX, and ICE direct exchange feeds. Energy, metals, agriculture, and softs — spot prices, forward curves, settlement prices, open interest, options activity, and spread analysis in one tool.
Most market data tools give you delayed prices from a secondary aggregator. This tool pulls from direct exchange feeds so the data is accurate and complete. Whether you're tracking the crude oil term structure, analyzing the gold-silver ratio, or monitoring options flow on corn futures, you get the same data a professional trading desk uses.
What you can do
- spot_price — front-month futures price with OHLCV, settlement, and open interest
- term_structure — full forward curve with contango/backwardation signal
- price_history — continuous OHLCV history with calendar or OI roll methodology
- settlement_prices — official daily settlement prices for any contract
- open_interest — total OI trend over any date range
- options_activity — options flow sorted by volume/OI ratio for key CME contracts
- spread_analysis — crack spreads, soy crush, gold/silver ratio, calendar spreads, and custom spreads with z-score
Who it's for
Commodity traders, energy analysts, portfolio managers, and researchers who need accurate futures market data. Also useful for businesses with commodity price exposure who want to monitor markets programmatically.
