Dukascopy Historical Price API

Historical daily OHLCV for any Dukascopy instrument — FX, metals, commodities, and indices — over any date range, straight from Dukascopy's public feed. No login, no API key, no proxies.

Getting clean historical price history usually means a $100–$500 dataset or a paid data terminal. This Actor gives you the same thing pay-as-you-go: pass a list of instruments and a date range, and get back tidy daily open / high / low / close / volume bars you can download as JSON, CSV, or Excel — or pull straight from the API.

Features

• 🌍 Any asset class — FX pairs (EURUSD, GBPUSD, USDJPY…), metals (XAUUSD gold, XAGUSD silver), commodities (LIGHTCMDUSD WTI, COPPERCMDUSD), and indices (USA500IDXUSD, DEUIDXEUR DAX…).
• 📅 Any date range — decades of history in a single run.
• 🛡️ Graceful by design — ask for a range wider than the data goes back, and you get all the data that exists plus a clear log of coverage — never a hard error or an empty crash.
• 🎯 Correctly scaled prices — per-instrument decimal handling, so gold reads ~2000 and EURUSD reads ~1.08, out of the box.
• 💾 Any format — JSON, CSV, Excel, or the dataset API; schedule it for a rolling update.

Who it's for

Quant researchers and algo traders (backtesting), fintech builders and dashboards, analysts, and anyone who needs affordable, structured price history without a data-vendor contract.

Pricing

Pay-per-result — billed per daily bar returned. A full decade of one instrument is roughly 2,600 bars, so you pay cents where a historical dataset would cost hundreds of dollars. No subscription, and out-of-range requests that return nothing cost nothing.

FAQ

Do I need a Dukascopy account or key? No — it reads Dukascopy's public data feed. What if I request dates before the data starts? You get everything that exists for that instrument; the Actor never errors on an out-of-range request. Which instruments are supported? Any Dukascopy instrument code. Common ones (FX, metals, WTI, copper, major indices) are scaled automatically; for an exotic one, set decimalFactor if the price looks off. Can I schedule it? Yes — run it daily/weekly to keep a rolling price history up to date. Bid or ask? Either — set priceType.
