Tada! After only two afternoons, [the free silver price API I said I was going to build](https://www.autodidacts.io/free-silver-price-api/) is live. It even has its own baby website with no stylesheet:

[Free Daily Silver Price APIA free JSON API that provides the day’s bid price for silver in CAD and USD, for use in simple financial Excel worksheets and applications![](https://www.autodidacts.io/content/images/icon/faviconV2-1)](https://www.curiositry.com/free-silver-price-api/?ref=autodidacts.io)

Consider it unstable for the time being. While I get testing and monitoring properly configured, the prices might not update on a predictable schedule, or be correct. But it’s better than nothing!

In the long run, I hope to provide a daily average, but at the moment, it’s a single snapshot of the bid price of silver at the time indicated.

You can use it in a LibreOffice Calc worksheet with the following formula:
