Spot Price Ticker for Gold & Silver

To configure custom spot pricing for metals:

1. Log in to your nFusion Dashboard as an administrator.
2. Navigate to the “Metal Price Configuration” section on the home page.
3. Enable Custom Overrides by toggling the switch at the top of the section. Once enabled:
   • You’ll have the option to set an “Expires On” date. This determines when your custom pricing will expire and automatically revert to the global spot price.
4. Configure Spot Prices for Individual Metals:
   Below the toggle and expiration date, you’ll see a table listing each supported metal:
   Gold, Silver, Platinum, Palladium, Rhodium, and Copper.

   For each metal, you can:

   • Set a Fixed Bid and/or Fixed Ask value to lock in a specific price.
   • Apply a Bid Adjustment or Ask Adjustment to automatically increase or decrease the spot price.

   For example:
   To set a fixed Ask price for Gold at $1,215.75, click the pencil icon for Gold, enter 1215.75 in the Fixed Ask field, and save.
   To adjust the price dynamically instead, enter 0.5 in Ask Adjustment and -0.5 in Bid Adjustment to increase your Ask by 50¢ and decrease your Bid by 50¢ relative to the live spot price.

5. Edit Metal Pricing:
   Click the pencil icon next to the metal you wish to configure. This will open an editing dialog where you can enter your desired values for the appropriate metal.

To access spot price data in either XML or JSON format, first log in to your nFusion Dashboard. From the dashboard:

Go to the Connections page and scroll down to the API Keys section.

Click the “View” button in the “Documentation” column for the corresponding Market Data API key to access detailed usage instructions, including supported formats and endpoints.

By default, API responses are returned in JSON. If you prefer XML, you can set the appropriate Accept header in your request (application/xml) or use the format query parameter (e.g., ?format=xml). We recommend using JSON (application/json) for most use cases due to its widespread compatibility and performance.

To access the nFusion Solutions APIs, you’ll need one or more API tokens, depending on your use case. To find your API tokens:

1. Log in to your nFusion Dashboard.
2. Navigate to the Connections page.
3. Locate the API Keys section to view your token(s) and access the appropriate documentation for full implementation details.

Your API tokens are sensitive credentials and should be kept secret. Never expose them in client-side code (e.g., JavaScript running in the browser), as this can allow others to view and misuse your token. Instead, route requests through your own server using a secure proxy, such as:

https://yoursite.com/proxy/metals/spot

This server-side proxy can safely call nFusion APIs using your token while keeping it hidden from the public.

To improve performance and reduce redundant API calls, we strongly recommend implementing caching on your proxy server. This ensures that multiple client-side requests don’t result in a 1:1 call ratio to nFusion APIs.

When making API requests, use the following HTTP headers as appropriate:

• Accept: Recommended value is application/json. For XML, use application/xml.
• Accept-Encoding: Use deflate,gzip for compressed and faster responses.
• Content-Type: For POST or PUT requests with a body, use application/json.
• User-Agent: We recommend setting this to your customer ID for identification.

For further guidance, refer to the API documentation linked from your Dashboard.

We have tested and confirmed compatibility with the three most popular multi-currency plugins in the WordPress plugin store. These plugins will work out of the box with our plugin as of version 2.9.9. If you are not using at least version 2.9.9 of our plugin, currency switching plugins may not be compatible. Please note the version with which they have been tested.
