Overview

The Palladium Value Evaluation Actor fetches the current palladium (XPD) spot price in USD via the MultipleWords assets API. No input is required. The Actor returns one item with symbol (XPD), currency (USD), rates per OZ/G/KG/Tola, name (Palladium), and last-updated timestamp.

This Actor is useful when you need the palladium price on demand, in workflows, or as part of an automated pipeline.
