Example inputs

1. Prices and history

{
  "instruments": [
    "Gold",
    "Crude Oil WTI"
  ],
  "dataToGet": [
    "overview",
    "historical"
  ],
  "historicalFrom": "2026-01-01",
  "historicalTo": "2026-06-30"
}

2. In Portuguese, prices in Brazilian reais

{

{
  "dataToGet": [
    "commodity_group"

Market options return one row per item (e.g. one row per stock), so they look like a normal table.

What the results look like

Every result is one item in the dataset. For the commodities you typed, you get one item per commodity and per option:

Field	Meaning
input	What you typed
dataType	Which option this item is (overview, historical, ...)
instrument	The commodity that was found: name, symbol, link, and how it was found
language	Language of the texts
currency	Currency of the prices in this item
meta	Extra details, e.g. the exchange rate used when you asked for another currency
data	The data itself
error	null, or the reason this item failed (the other items still work)

Call it from your code

Replace YOUR_API_TOKEN with your token (Apify Console → Settings → Integrations) and pintostudio with your Apify username.

Using the API (runs the actor and returns the results in one call):

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/pintostudio~investing-com-commodities/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"instruments": ["Gold"], "dataToGet": ["overview"]}'

Python (pip install apify-client):

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_API_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("pintostudio/investing-com-commodities").call(run_input={
    "instruments": ["Gold", "Crude Oil WTI"],
    "dataToGet": ["overview"],
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["input"], item["dataType"], item["data"])

JavaScript (npm install apify-client):

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_API_TOKEN' });
const run = await client.actor('pintostudio/investing-com-commodities').call({
    instruments: ["Gold", "Crude Oil WTI"],
    dataToGet: ['overview'],
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

Proxy

Investing.com blocks many IPs, so every request goes through a proxy. You have two options in Proxy (proxyType):

Option	What happens	Who pays for the proxy
Our proxy (default)	Requests go through our proxy. Nothing to set up.	Included in the event price, no extra cost.
My own proxy	Requests go through the proxy URLs you add in Your proxy URLs (ownProxyUrls). Several URLs are rotated.	You, directly to your proxy provider. The actor price stays the same.

Apify Proxy is not used by this actor, so it never adds proxy usage to your Apify bill. If you choose My own proxy without adding a URL, the run stops with a clear message.

Pricing

You only pay for what you get (pay per event). Items that fail are never charged.

Event	Price	When
Actor start	$0.00005	Once per run
Commodity data	$0.005	Each commodity × option (overview, historical, technical, news, related)
Market row	$0.0005	Each row of a commodity group list (metals, energy, grains, softs, meats)

Examples: overview of gold, silver and oil ≈ $0.015 · 10 years of daily gold prices ≈ $0.005 · the full energy list (≈15 rows) ≈ $0.0075. Historical prices are charged once per commodity, no matter how many days you ask for. Set a maximum cost per run and the actor stops cleanly when it is reached. Tip: ask for several commodities and options in one run, it is faster than many small runs.

Good to know

• Not sure what to type? Paste the link of the commodity from investing.com. It always works.
• Currency: prices are converted with the live exchange rate. Historical prices, dividends, earnings and financial statements use the rate of each date. Percentages, ratios and volumes are never converted. The item's meta shows the rate used.
• Language: changes names, descriptions and news. Numbers stay the same.
• Errors: if one commodity or option fails, you get an item with an error explaining why, and everything else still runs.
• Proxy: see Proxy above. By default you do not need to do anything.
