Planning a responsible antimony market-data feature

Understanding the subject

A public pricing feature needs a data source whose terms allow that use. Access to a website or a subscription does not automatically establish permission to republish an assessment.

What it means in practice

The implementation should identify the provider, material basis, observation time and update status. If a scheduled update fails, the last known date should remain visible instead of implying that the value is current.

Bring it into your next discussion

ZIMTAL currently displays selected published historical observations. A future current-price feature should be designed around an agreed provider and reliable update path rather than an unsupported automatic price claim.

• Confirm public display rights.
• Agree the fields and update interval.
• Display the observation time and stale-data status.
