<a href="https://metalflowapi.com/gold-price-api/usd" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Prices by MetalflowAPI</a>Why USD is the reference currency
Gold is traded internationally in US dollars, so the USD price per troy ounce is the number most investors, news sites and bullion dealers quote. Showing it on your page gives visitors the same reference they see on financial terminals and in market reports, without them leaving your site to look it up.
Per ounce for investors, per gram for jewellery
The builder defaults to price per troy ounce, the standard for bullion coins and bars. If your audience buys jewellery or sells scrap, switch the unit to grams: the per-gram figure is derived from the ounce price with the exact 31.1034768 factor, so there are no rounding surprises.
Who uses the dollar widget
Coin shops in North America, international bullion stores, finance blogs and newsletters that publish in English all benefit from a live USD quote. The ticker layout fits a header or navigation bar, while the mini chart layout adds a 30-day trend line that works well next to market commentary.
Fast, cached and free
Prices are fetched on our server and rendered straight into the widget HTML, so the number appears even before any script runs. The frame refreshes itself every five minutes, and the price endpoint is cached at the edge, which keeps your own page fast and your hosting bill unchanged.
