Silver Intraday API: Hourly XAG Through One Day
A silver intradía API returns one metal, one UTC date, and one interval. On Metals-API that is GET https://metals-api.com/api/intraday with query access_key. Swap the gold sample for symbol=XAG, base=USD, interval=1h.
Copper Monthly starts at $19.99/mo (2,500 calls, 10-minute updates, 10 symbols). There is no Free Trial. Docs: metals-api.com/documentation.
Request: hourly silver
curl "https://metals-api.com/api/intraday?access_key=YOUR_API_KEY&symbol=XAG&base=USD&date=2026-09-25&interval=1h"
Allowed intervals include 1m through 1d (default 1d). One symbol per call. On intradía, rates[timestamp].XAG is already USD per ounce — same contract as the published XAU window.
Sibling: official latest XAG (2018-09-10)
Docs do not publish an XAG intradía candle array. The numeric silver fixture is Latest Rates dated 2018-09-10:
{
"success": true,
"timestamp": 1519296206,
"base": "USD",
"date": "2018-09-10",
"rates": {
"XAG": 0.041405839732253,
"USDXAG": 24.151182694673185
}
}
Prefer rates.USDXAG (~24.15 USD/oz). Invert matches: 1 / 0.041405839732253 ≈ 24.15. Copy the intradía curl with your key for today’s hourly series — do not treat 24.15 as a 2026 candle.
