Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about MetalflowAPI — Live Precious Metals Prices
Not for a personal or non-commercial site: the Free plan (500 requests/month, delayed prices) works with the plugin, which caches Free-plan prices for 6 hours to stay within the quota. Commercial sites (shops, jewelers, dealers) need a paid plan under MetalflowAPI's terms; Starter (€9/mo) also gives fresher prices and the change widget. Settings → MetalflowAPI shows your plan and monthly usage.
An optional deal, off by default: tick "Show a 'Powered by MetalflowAPI' link under widgets…" in Settings → MetalflowAPI and the plugin prints one small "Prices by MetalflowAPI" link per page, under the first widget. Your site is registered with MetalflowAPI, which checks your homepage (or the first public page that shows a widget) for the link right away and then daily. While the link is found, the Free plan gets 2,000 requests/month instead of 500 and fresher prices; the settings page shows the status (pending, verified, link not found). If the link is missing on two checks in a row, the bonus ends. Paid plans can show the link too, but don't need the bonus. Untick the option to remove the link and the registration at any time.
Visitors keep seeing the last known prices, labelled "as of ", and the plugin stops calling the API until the time given by the service, so pages stay fast. Administrators see a notice at 80% and 100% of the monthly quota (only on the Dashboard, Plugins and MetalflowAPI settings screens).
In your WordPress database (wp_options). Requests to MetalflowAPI are made from your WordPress server — the key is never sent to visitor browsers.
No. All API responses are cached server-side via WordPress transients (default 5 min, configurable). On a cache hit, response time is essentially zero.
Yes. Each site has its own settings and its own API key.
Visitors see nothing until a key is added. Logged-in editors see static sample data (labelled "Sample data · only you see this") so they can place and style widgets. The sample is built into the plugin — no network request is made and nothing is sent anywhere.
Not in v1.0. BTC/ETH support is on the roadmap for the MetalflowAPI service.
Yes. By default the widgets follow your theme. Settings → MetalflowAPI → Appearance sets a style preset (card, minimal, borderless), colours, corner radius and text size for all widgets, with a live preview. Each block has colour, typography, spacing and border controls plus a "Widget style" panel, and every shortcode accepts style, color, text, bg, border, up, down, radius and size. For full control, the widgets use CSS custom properties on the .mfapi-w wrapper (--mfapi-accent, --mfapi-text, --mfapi-bg, --mfapi-border, --mfapi-up, --mfapi-down, --mfapi-radius) and semantic class names (mfapi-price, mfapi-ticker, mfapi-chart, …).
Ranges longer than your plan's history are hidden from visitors (Free: 30 days — the chart itself needs a paid plan; Starter: 5 years; Pro: 30 years; Max is the full archive back to 1968). Logged-in administrators see these buttons with a lock and a link to the plans.
