A curated licensing-screening matrix of 20 free source/product rows across 16 independent hosts, spanning FX, crypto, equities, bonds, macro, energy and commodities. Each row is screened conservatively: only terms that explicitly permit commercial external display count as ALLOWED; personal, non-commercial, internal or non-display tiers are RESEARCH ONLY; everything else is VERIFY / LICENSE until rights are documented. Free API access by itself grants no display or redistribution rights, and exchange or third-party entitlements can override a provider plan. This is a screening matrix, not legal advice.
Null fields are shown as "not stated" — a missing limit is never "unlimited". Source names link to the terms page each row was screened from.

Method: curated display-rights screening matrix of 20 free source/product rows across 16 independent hosts (no URL supports more than 5% of rows), compiled from each provider's published pricing, terms or license pages; the World Bank row reflects the current Commodity Markets Outlook (October 2026, CC BY 3.0 IGO) rather than the dated 2020 edition. Policy measures whether exact free-tier terms explicitly permit commercial external display to paying users; nulls are kept as "not stated". Long terms, attribution and caveat text abridged for space; full text at the linked pages. Not legal advice.
