The calendar patterns commodity traders position around, computed live from ~10 years of Yahoo Finance monthly futures data (no key, nothing stored). Commodities are the most seasonal market there is: natural gas tends to rally into winter heating demand, gasoline into the summer driving season, grains around the planting and harvest calendar. This measures it directly — for each commodity it takes a decade of monthly returns, groups them by calendar month, and returns the average return in each of the twelve months, the share of years that month was positive (the win rate), and the historically strongest and weakest months. The seasonality endpoint returns one commodity's full 12-month seasonal profile plus the current month's historical bias. The month endpoint flips it around: for a given calendar month it ranks every commodity by its historical average return, so you can see what is seasonally bullish or bearish right now. The commodities endpoint lists what is covered. The commodity-seasonality / calendar-pattern cut — distinct from the FX-seasonality API (currencies), the commodity-price feed, the commodity-spreads and the commodity-momentum APIs. It answers what a commodity usually does this month, not what it costs today.

Which corner of the commodity complex is leading and which is lagging, ranked by trailing momentum, computed live from Yahoo Finance futures (no key, nothing stored). A price tells you where a commodity is; momentum tells you where the money is flowing. This scores every major commodity — crude, Brent, natural gas, gasoline and heating oil in energy; gold, silver, copper, platinum and palladium in metals; corn, wheat and soybeans in grains; coffee, sugar, cocoa, cotton and orange juice in softs; live cattle and lean hogs in livestock — by its return over five horizons (1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months and a ~1-year proxy), blends them into a single momentum score and ranks the whole complex into leaders and laggards. The screener endpoint returns that ranked table with a relative-strength rank and trend regime for each. The momentum endpoint drills into one commodity: its multi-horizon returns, where it sits versus its 50- and 200-day averages, and a trend label. The commodities endpoint lists what is covered. The cross-commodity momentum / relative-strength factor cut — distinct from the commodity-price feed (front-month prices), the commodity-spreads API (crack/crush/ratios) and the precious-metals spot API. It answers what is leading the complex, not what one thing costs.

Live commodity futures prices as an API — the energy, grain, soft and livestock commodity complex, served from Yahoo Finance. For any commodity it returns the front-month futures price, the previous close, the absolute and percentage change on the day, the day's high and low and the 52-week high and low, with the price's currency and quoting unit (e.g. USD per barrel, US cents per bushel). Look a commodity up by name or alias (crude oil, Brent, natural gas, gasoline, corn, wheat, soybeans, coffee, sugar, cocoa, cotton, orange juice, live cattle, lean hogs and more), pull a category board (energy, grains, softs, livestock) ranked by the day's move, or get the whole board in one call. The commodity-quote layer for trading, markets and dashboard apps. Live, no key. Distinct from the precious-metals API — this is the energy, agricultural and soft-commodity complex.
