@dave thanks for the advice. &nbsp;That seems obvious now that I think about it. &nbsp;I went to the Chicago Options exchange and the API starts at about $850 per month. &nbsp;Interesting.

Precious Metals API. &nbsp;I have been asked to fix a connection script to an API. &nbsp;The API pulls information about Precious metals, including current price. &nbsp;My question is not about fixing the API but about the API itself. &nbsp;There seems to be a lot of services that will offer an api that will show the current price of precious metals but it would appear to me that they are all getting that information from a specific source. &nbsp;Where do you think all of the services are getting this API that they are turning into their own API?

JavaScript Object Notation, or JSON, is human-readable text used when transmitting data objects consisting of attribute:value pairs between a server and a web application as an alternative to XML. JSON, while it is originally derived from JavaScript, is a language-independent data format. Code for parsing and generating JSON data is available in many programming languages.
