Coimbatore Jewellery APIcoimbatorejewellery.org ↗
Get live 22K gold, 18K gold, and silver rates from the Coimbatore Jewellers Association rate board. Returns INR price, change, direction, and timestamp.
What is the Coimbatore Jewellery API?
This API exposes 3 endpoints that return the current gold and silver rates published by the Coimbatore Jewellers Association (CJA) on their homepage rate board. Each endpoint — including get_silver_rate, get_gold_22k_rate, and get_gold_18k_rate — returns 10 fields: numeric price in INR, raw display string, change versus the previous published rate, direction indicator, rate label, and the site's own update timestamp.
No input parameters required.
curl -X GET 'https://api.parse.bot/scraper/fb405678-55f1-440b-801d-a897087f007c/get_silver_rate' \ -H 'X-API-Key: $PARSE_API_KEY'
Returns the current CJA silver rate shown on the association's homepage rate board in one page fetch. The response is a single object: the numeric price in INR, the raw display string, the change versus the previous published rate with its direction (up, down or equal), and the site's own 'Update Time' stamp as displayed (local time, format YYYY.MM.DD hh:mm:ss AM/PM). No inputs. If the rate tile is missing from the page the call fails with an extraction error rather than returning defaults.
No input parameters required.

}About the Coimbatore Jewellery API
What the API Covers
The API reflects the three metal rates displayed on the CJA homepage rate board: 22K gold, 18K gold, and silver. Each endpoint returns the same consistent shape — price (numeric INR value), price_display (rupee-sign string as shown), change (signed numeric delta from the prior published rate), change_display (formatted string such as (+290)), direction (up, down, or equal derived from the site's arrow indicator), rate_label (the tile label as it appears on the board), source (always 'CJA Rate'), currency (always 'INR'), and updated_at (the site's displayed timestamp).
Endpoint Details
get_gold_22k_rate and get_gold_18k_rate return the per-gram gold price in INR at 22 and 18 karat respectively. Both include the same change and direction fields, so you can detect whether the rate moved up or down since the last CJA update without any additional computation. get_silver_rate follows the same schema but sets metal to 'silver' and reflects the silver rate unit as published by the site — verify the unit from the rate_label field if your application is unit-sensitive.
Freshness and Scope
All three endpoints read the rate board as currently displayed on the CJA homepage. The updated_at field carries the timestamp the association themselves publish alongside the rate, so you can tell exactly when the CJA last updated the board. There is no historical data or time-series endpoint — each call returns only the current posted rate.
Source API Status
The Coimbatore Jewellers Association does not publish an official public developer API or data feed. The rates are published on their website as a display board intended for consumers and trade members.
The Coimbatore Jewellery API is a managed, monitored endpoint for coimbatorejewellery.org — not a raw scraper you maintain. Every endpoint is automatically health-checked on a schedule, and when coimbatorejewellery.org changes and a check fails, the API is automatically queued for repair and re-verified. It is built to keep working as the site underneath it changes.
This isn't an official coimbatorejewellery.org API — it's an independent, maintained REST wrapper over public data. Where the source has no official API (or only a limited one), Parse gives you a stable contract over a source that never promised one, and keeps it current. Need a new endpoint or field? You can revise it yourself in plain English and the agent rebuilds it against the live site in minutes — contributing the change back to the shared API is free.
Will this API break when the source site changes?+
Is this an official API from the source site?+
Can I fix or extend this API myself if I need a new endpoint or field?+
What happens if I call an endpoint that has an issue?+
- Display live CJA gold rates in an Indian jewellery retail POS or pricing screen using the
pricefield from get_gold_22k_rate. - Alert customers or staff when the 22K or 18K gold rate direction changes to 'up' or 'down' by polling the
directionfield. - Show today's silver rate alongside gold in a multi-metal price comparison widget using all three endpoints.
- Seed a local price cache with the CJA rate board values and
updated_atto avoid redundant fetches. - Build a Coimbatore-specific jewellery pricing calculator that uses the live 22K and 18K
pricefields as base rates. - Log the
changefield over time by polling periodically to build a manual price-change history for the CJA rates.
| Tier | Price | Credits/month | Rate limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0/mo | 200 | 5 req/min |
| Hobby | $30/mo | 1,000 | 20 req/min |
| Developer | $100/mo | 5,000 | 100 req/min |
| Team | $300/mo | 20,000 | 300 req/min |
| Company | $1,000/mo | 100,000 | 500 req/min |
Each endpoint has a fixed posted price per successful call — most fall between 1 and 10 credits — shown on this API's page before you run it. Exceeding the rate limit returns a 429 response. Authenticate with the X-API-Key header.
Does the Coimbatore Jewellers Association publish an official developer API?+
What does the `direction` field represent, and how is it different from `change`?+
direction field reflects the site's own arrow indicator and will be one of 'up', 'down', or 'equal'. The change field is the signed numeric difference from the previous published rate (negative when the rate fell). Both are included so you can branch on direction without parsing the numeric sign yourself.Does the API return historical rate data or a time series for gold and silver prices?+
Are rates for other cities or associations — such as Chennai or Mumbai gold rates — available through this API?+
What unit is the silver rate in, and how can I confirm it?+
price field reflects the unit as published by the CJA site. Check the rate_label field in the response — it carries the tile label exactly as shown on the rate board, which includes the unit description (for example, per gram or per kilogram). Do not assume a unit without reading rate_label.
