Get live gold prices in any currency, per gram/tola/karat (no API key)

Most "gold price API" services are paywalled and quote only USD per troy ounce. But if you're building anything for the Gulf or India — a jewelry site, a savings app, a dashboard — you need per gram, per tola, per karat, in AED/INR/SAR. Here's how to get exactly that.

The units that actually matter

  • Jewelry is sold per gram and by karat (24k/22k/21k/18k), not per ounce.
  • South Asian markets quote the tola (~11.66 g).
  • Buyers want their local currency, not USD.

So the useful output is: spot price converted to your currency, then divided into grams/tola and scaled by karat purity.

The easy way

The Gold Price Scraper returns gold, silver, platinum and palladium in any currency, per gram/tola/ounce and by karat — built on live futures + FX. No API key.

{ "metals": ["gold", "silver"], "currency": "AED", "karats": [24, 22, 21, 18] }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Output is one clean row per metal/unit, ready for a site, app or sheet.

Use cases

  • Jewelry & retail — show today's 22k/gram price in local currency
  • Savings & fintech apps — value gold holdings live
  • Dashboards & alerts — track spot moves on a schedule
