About Metals-API
Metals-API.com was born out of a very personal need.
Alejandro Brega, the founder, originally initiated the project to track gold and silver prices for a personal investment and data analysis initiative. He required reliable, real-time, and historically accurate precious metals data that could be used programmatically and trusted for long-term decision-making. At the time, existing solutions in the market were either too limited, cost-prohibitive, or not designed with developers and scalable systems in mind.
What began as a small internal tool quickly evolved into a production-grade API, built with the same engineering standards applied across Alejandro’s broader technology portfolio: data accuracy, performance, scalability, and operational reliability.
