Metals Prices Template
- Next.js
- TypeScript
Live gold, silver and platinum spot prices, with a calculator for what your metal is worth today.
A Next.js app that shows precious metal spot prices. See gold, silver and platinum per troy ounce, gram or kilogram, with the 24-hour move and whether the market is open, then work out what your coins, bars or jewellery are worth at today's price. Use it as a price board, or lift the route to add live metal prices to a dealer or jewellery site.
What it does
- Three metals at once
- Gold, silver and platinum load together from one route, which calls the three price APIs in parallel.
- Any unit
- Switch between troy ounces, grams and kilograms; every price on the board follows.
- What is it worth?
- Enter a weight and a metal to value it at spot. The math runs in the browser, so it costs no extra calls.
- Cached for everyone
- One answer serves every visitor for 10 minutes, so a busy page still makes only a few calls an hour.
- Keeps your key private
- The browser only talks to your own API route, which holds the key and limits each visitor to 10 lookups a minute.
How it works
The route: it calls Gold Price, Silver Price and Platinum Price together and caches the answer.
/** GET /api/metals: gold, silver and platinum spot prices in USD, from three APIVerve APIs at once. */
export async function GET(request: Request) {
const hit = fromCache('metals', TTL_MS);
if (hit) return Response.json(hit);
const blocked = guard(request);
if (blocked) return blocked;
return respond(async () => {
const prices = await Promise.all(METALS.map((m) => callApi<Metal>(`${m}price`)));
const data = Object.fromEntries(METALS.map((m, i) => [m, prices[i]]));
toCache('metals', data);
return data;
});
