Goldprice.dev vs SEC EDGAR Data
Goldprice.dev is a commodity-pricing API returning live XAU/XAG/copper spot prices across 31 currencies (cross-checked via exchangerate.dev with an ECB fallback), COMEX gold futures and GLD ETF data, and over a decade of daily XAU/USD history, with every price citing its source and published methodology. Access is anonymous and keyless by default at a modest rate limit; a free API key raises throughput, and paid tiers add per-country physical dealer pricing, a volatility/probability surface, a real-time SSE/WebSocket feed, and an MCP server on every plan. A live Origin-header probe against the real API host (api.goldprice.dev) found no Access-Control-Allow-Origin header, so CORS resolves to `no` — the stored `unknown` was unresolved, not confirmed open.
SEC EDGAR's data.sec.gov REST APIs serve JSON-formatted company filing histories and XBRL financial-statement facts (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, and more) extracted from filings submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. No authentication or API key is required, but the SEC's fair-access policy requires a descriptive User-Agent header identifying the requester and caps traffic at 10 requests per second — requests without one are rejected with a 403. A live probe confirmed CORS is enabled (Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *) once that header is set.
