This page reports the live health of the data providers behind every price on Commodity.com. If a provider is degraded, individual price pages may show cached or “unavailable” data rather than a stale number presented as live.

CheckingHow we measure status
We pull prices from multiple providers and cache responses server-side to stay inside rate limits. Each provider is checked on its own cache cadence (see the table above). A provider is live when our most recent fetch succeeded and returned valid data; degraded when recent fetches failed but cached data is still within its TTL; down when both live fetches and cached data are missing.
For the full list of providers, our fallback order, and how derived prices are calculated, see Data Sources & Methodology. For corrections or to report an error, see the corrections page.
Our commitment
We will never show a cached price as live. If a price cannot be sourced, the page will say so. This page is the single place where we publicly disclose outages and degradations in our data feeds.
