Trading Use Cases
Algorithmic Trading
// Real-time price feed
const ws = new WebSocket('wss://api.oilpriceapi.com/v1/stream');
ws.on('message', (data) => {
const { symbol, price, timestamp } = JSON.parse(data);
if (symbol === 'CL' && price < 75.50) {
executeTrade('BUY', 'CL', 100);
}
});Spread Trading
// Monitor Brent-WTI spread
const spread = await api.getSpread('BRENT', 'WTI');
if (spread.value > 5.0) {
// Spread too wide, execute arbitrage
executeTrade('SELL', 'BRENT', 1000);
executeTrade('BUY', 'WTI', 1000);
}Options & Futures
// Get futures curve
const curve = await api.getFuturesCurve('CL');
// Identify contango/backwardation
if (curve[1].price > curve[0].price * 1.02) {
// Strong contango - storage play
executeStorageTrade(curve);
}Risk Management
// Set price alerts
api.setAlert({
commodity: 'NATURAL_GAS',
condition: 'ABOVE',
threshold: 4.50,
webhook: 'https://your-app.com/alerts'
