Steps
Obtain Fastmarkets Platform credentials and call the Authentication API with the appropriate scope (e.g., fastmarkets.marketdata.api) to generate a bearer access token.
Add the token to the Authorization header as a Bearer token on subsequent calls, per Fastmarkets' documented auth flow.
Use the Market Data API for exchange-traded prices (LME, COMEX, NYMEX, CBOT, SHFE) and instrument reference data.
Use the separate Physical Prices API for current/historical physical (non-exchange) commodity prices and associated instrument data.
Test calls against the published Swagger documentation (api.fastmarkets.com) using your own credentials before wiring the integration into production.
Known gotchas
Market Data and Physical Prices are two distinct APIs with separate documentation and likely separate access entitlements — a subscription covering one does not automatically grant the other.
Access tokens are scope-limited and expire; build token refresh into the integration rather than hardcoding a long-lived token.
