https://api.toolrouter.com/v1/tools/callFrequently Asked Questions
What is the quickest way to get a market snapshot?
Use `live_prices` for a broad real-time read across energy, metals, agriculture, indices, FX, crypto, and bonds. It is the fastest way to check the tape.
Can I see the US yield curve and detect inversions?
Yes. `treasury_yields` returns the full curve and highlights key spreads, including the 10Y-2Y and 10Y-3M moves that traders watch for inversion signals.
Does it cover FX, commodities, and macro data too?
Yes. You can pull exchange rates, commodity prices, benchmark rates, energy market data, economic indicators, credit conditions, and more from the same tool.
When should I use the official historical feeds instead of live prices?
Use the FRED-backed skills when you want a cleaner historical reference series, and use the live pricing skills when you need current market levels.
