Real Market API vs GoldPrice.io — gold prices + every other asset class
GoldPrice.io does one thing: REST-only gold and silver spot prices. Real Market API delivers those same XAUUSD and XAGUSD feeds plus Forex, Crypto, Stocks, Oil, and global Indices — with WebSocket streaming and a Telegram Bot on every plan.
Why developers switch from GoldPrice.io
Four key reasons to choose Real Market API
Gold, silver, and 57 other instruments — one API key
GoldPrice.io returns spot prices for gold, silver, palladium, and platinum via REST. Real Market API covers those metals and adds 14 Forex pairs, 10 crypto pairs, 30 stocks, 11 global indices, and energy commodities — all on the same key.
WebSocket streaming for live gold price charts
GoldPrice.io has no WebSocket endpoint — you must poll the REST API. Real Market API's persistent WebSocket connection pushes new XAUUSD ticks the moment the price changes, which is critical for live charting or alert systems.
Query gold prices from any LLM agent via MCP
Real Market API's native MCP Server lets any AI agent call `get_price XAUUSD` or `get_candles XAUUSD M5` as a tool call — no polling logic, no JSON parsing in prompts.
Telegram gold price alerts — no extra setup
Send /price XAUUSD to the Real Market API Telegram Bot and get the live gold price in seconds. Set up candle-close alerts without writing any code — available on every plan including free.
