General

EnergypriceAPI provides a simple and efficient JSON-based REST API for real-time and historical energy commodity pricing. We offer accurate data for WTI crude oil, Brent crude oil, natural gas, and gasoline.

EnergypriceAPI enables you to enrich your applications with reliable energy pricing data for trading platforms, financial modeling, risk management, and business intelligence.

We serve a wide range of customers, including energy traders, financial institutions, logistics companies, business intelligence teams, and developers building commodity-aware applications.
Data & Coverage

We currently support four major energy commodities: WTI (West Texas Intermediate crude oil), BRENT (Brent crude oil), NATURALGAS (Henry Hub natural gas), and GASOLINE (RBOB gasoline). All prices are available in USD and other major currencies.

Update frequency depends on your subscription plan, ranging from daily updates on the free plan to 60-second updates on the Business plan. See our pricing page for details.
API Access & Features

Simply by signing up and verifying your email. Every registered user is assigned a unique personal API key that can be used to access and query our API. You can also rotate/reset your API key at any time in our easy-to-use dashboard. No commitments and we offer a forever free plan.

Accessing any of our endpoints will count as one "API Request". Based on your Subscription Plan, you get a monthly allowance of "API Requests".

Users will automatically be notified via email and on their Account Dashboard once at least 75%, 90%, and 100% of their monthly API Request allowance has been reached.

After you reach 100% of your quota, you will be soft-capped. All paid customers can exceed their API request volume by 20% with zero degradation. Please rest assured that exceeding the monthly API Request allowance will not cause any additional charges.
