Embed tools and data feeds
AGSIST publishes embeddable agricultural tools and open JSON market-data feeds for ag media, extension services, co-ops, and farm websites. Add a widget with one script, or read the feeds and build your own display.
https://agsist.com/embed.js. Add the script once, then drop a data-agsist-widget div wherever you want a tool. The script injects the live tool in an iframe, adds a crawlable “Powered by AGSIST” link in your page, and resizes the frame to fit. Prefer a plain iframe? Each tool below has one ready to copy.Embeddable widgets
Run a co-op, elevator, ag-retail or extension site? Copy a snippet, paste it into your page, and your visitors get the live tool. It's free and needs no account or API key.
The script places a “Powered by AGSIST” link in your page, and the iframe snippet carries the same link under it. Please keep it; links like that are how people find the site. Nothing tracks your visitors beyond standard, anonymized usage stats on the tool itself. Problem with a widget? Email sig@agsist.com.
Data feeds
These JSON files update on their own schedule. Read them directly if you'd rather build your own display than use the widget.
Delayed futures prices for grains, oilseeds, livestock, Class III milk, cotton, rice, energy and metals, plus the Dollar Index, 10-yr Treasury, S&P 500 and a few crypto quotes (Bitcoin, XRP, Kaspa). Most keys also have dated contracts (corn-dec26, corn-dec27 and so on). Updated about every 15 minutes while futures markets trade, Sunday evening to Friday afternoon. Grain prices are in cents per bushel. Divide by 100 for dollar display.

Prediction-market contracts from Polymarket that bear on farm inputs, energy and the economy. Updated daily. Only active contracts that pass AGSIST’s farm-relevance filter are included; there is no volume floor. volume_24h is the contract’s 24-hour volume in USD where Polymarket reports one, otherwise its lifetime volume. Odds (yes, no) are percentages, not fractions.
