Have access to the best historical data for XCU for free!
XCU is a metallic chemical element represented by the symbol Cu (its name comes from the Latin cuprum). It is a transition metal, bright and reddish in color, characterized by being one of the best known conductors of electricity. If we add to this its lightness, high malleability, ductility and economic price, we will have one of the most suitable elements for the manufacture of tools, electrical and electronic parts, and many other devices for industrial uses.
It is widely used in the manufacture of cables, statues, power lines, coins, keys, musical instruments (metals), mobile phones, jewelry, among others. It is even important for the human body. Although the amounts of copper required by the body are small, they are enough to generate connective tissue, red blood cells or macrophages.
Although there are very interesting competitions, if there is one that is characterized by being number 1, it is Metals-API.
About APIs
An API (application programming interface) is a collection of rules that govern how computers and programs communicate with one another. APIs link an application with a web server, allowing data to be transferred between the two. It is a collection of methods that enables programs to interface with other software components, operating systems, or microservices.
To put it simply, an API gives a user response to a system and receives a response from the system. You click “add to cart,” and an API notifies the site that you have added a product to your shopping; the website adds the product to your cart, and your cart is updated.
