#commodities

Live Commitments of Traders (COT) futures-positioning data, served straight from the US CFTC's public reporting API — no key, nothing cached. Every Friday the Commodity Futures Trading Commission publishes who is positioned how in every major futures market — currencies, stock indices, energy, metals, grains — and traders watch it closely as a sentiment and crowding signal. The report endpoint takes a market name (Euro FX, Gold, Crude Oil, S&P 500, Bitcoin) and returns the latest weekly report: how many long and short contracts are held by commercials (the hedgers), by non-commercials (the large speculators) and by small non-reportable traders, the net position of each group, the total open interest, each group's share of open interest, the week-over-week change and the number of traders — Gold shows commercials net short while large speculators run net long. The markets endpoint searches the hundreds of reported markets so you can find the exact name. The history endpoint returns the weekly path of positioning for a market. This is the positioning-and-sentiment layer for any futures, forex, commodity or macro trading app. Live from the CFTC, nothing stored. Distinct from price and open-interest APIs — this is who is long and short, by trader category. 4 endpoints.

Live commodity futures prices as an API — the energy, grain, soft and livestock commodity complex, served from Yahoo Finance. For any commodity it returns the front-month futures price, the previous close, the absolute and percentage change on the day, the day's high and low and the 52-week high and low, with the price's currency and quoting unit (e.g. USD per barrel, US cents per bushel). Look a commodity up by name or alias (crude oil, Brent, natural gas, gasoline, corn, wheat, soybeans, coffee, sugar, cocoa, cotton, orange juice, live cattle, lean hogs and more), pull a category board (energy, grains, softs, livestock) ranked by the day's move, or get the whole board in one call. The commodity-quote layer for trading, markets and dashboard apps. Live, no key. Distinct from the precious-metals API — this is the energy, agricultural and soft-commodity complex.
