Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our Oil Price API
OilPriceAPI is a REST API for source-timestamped WTI, Brent Crude, Natural Gas, and a broad commodity catalog. Refresh cadence and historical availability vary by source, dataset, account, and plan.
Current signup and trial terms are shown in the signup flow before you begin. You can create an account, get an API key, and upgrade only when your usage needs more capacity.
Each latest value includes source and timestamp fields so you can evaluate freshness. Refresh cadence varies by source, market hours, dataset, and plan. The published uptime target is an operational objective, not a contractual SLA unless a signed agreement says otherwise.
We provide official SDKs for Python, Node.js, Go, and PHP. Java, C++, C#/.NET, Ruby, Rust, Swift, and other languages can call the REST API directly.
OilPriceAPI provides energy commodity data through a developer-friendly REST API. Bloomberg Terminal is a broader enterprise market data and analyst platform. Current OilPriceAPI plan terms are published on the pricing page.
