pip install mcx-data

Quick Start

from mcxdata import mcx

# Today's spot prices — all 28 commodities
df = mcx.get_spot_recent()

# Single commodity
df = mcx.get_spot_recent(commodity="GOLD")

# Historical (requires specific commodity)
df = mcx.get_spot_archive("2026-05-01", "2026-05-22", commodity="GOLD")
df = mcx.get_spot_archive("2026-05-01", "2026-05-22", commodity="SILVER")

# Download to S3
mcx.download("spot", "market", "spot_recent",
             s3_bucket="my-bucket", s3_prefix="raw/mcx/")

# Available commodities (28)
mcx.list_commodities()
