Product

Source-timestamped oil, gas, refined-product, futures, and related energy data delivered through a normalized REST API.

Evaluation Offer

The Core commodity API includes a 7-day trial with 10,000 requests and no credit card. After the trial, the Free plan includes 200 requests per month. Dataset access and limits vary by plan, source, and account entitlement.

Current paid-plan terms: https://www.oilpriceapi.com/pricing

Catalog and Freshness

A broad catalog spanning crude oil, natural gas, refined products, futures, marine fuels, carbon markets, metals, forex, and selected energy-intelligence datasets.

Latest available values include source timestamps; refresh cadence varies by source, market hours, dataset, and plan.

Applications should compare source timestamps with their own tolerance for stale data. Do not infer one universal refresh interval from an individual dataset.
