Legacy API Quick-Start

Legacy API Quick-Start (Former freegoldprice.org & DGCSC.org Users)

1. Good news—your old code still works

Which URL and credential should I use?

If you were on the old freegoldprice.org
Keep calling https://freegoldprice.org/api/v1?... and pass your existing query parameter
key=YOUR_OLD_KEY.

If you were on DGCSC.org
Keep calling the same dgcsc.org endpoint your script already hits—e.g.
https://xml.dgcsc.org/?...—and pass
password=YOUR_OLD_PASSWORD in the query string.

That’s it: same URLs, same parameter names, zero code changes.
All existing action values (e.g. GoldJBA, JLondonFixes) remain unchanged.

2. Voucher redemption happens automatically

  • First request: the moment our edge servers see a valid legacy key or password, they convert it into a voucher and top up your new account with the same number of unused hits—purely as a courtesy.
  • No manual signup needed. Keep firing requests and watch the credits appear in your new dashboard (we match by e-mail when possible).
  • Stuck? Drop the key/password into the Redeem Voucher field in the new UI or e-mail support@freegoldprice.org.

3. What hasn’t changed

  • Query-string auth only. No new headers or OAuth flows.
  • 1 request = 1 hit. Credits disappear exactly as before.
  • Same actions, same formats. JSON/XML response shapes are identical to the old spec, so parsers keep humming.

4. What has changed

  • 24/7 availability. Hits are now valid around the clock—no “office-hours” throttles.
  • Performance tweaks. Behind the scenes we upgraded caching and load-balancing, so legacy endpoints are ~35 % faster.
  • Upcoming plans. New Booster Packages and affordable monthly tiers go live in the next few days. If your legacy hits will run out within 48 h, mail us—we’ll top you up until the new plans launch.

5. Risk & liability reminder

We surface prices from public sources and do not audit every tick for accuracy. If you need exchange-certified, just-in-time data for mission-critical finance workflows, this feed isn’t the right tool. By continuing to call the legacy endpoints you accept full responsibility for any use of the information; freegoldprice.org cannot be held liable for losses or damages arising from reliance on these prices.
