Method
- Fetch the international gold spot price (US$ per troy ounce) from a primary source, and an independent secondary source when configured.
- Fetch the USD/LKR exchange rate the same way: primary plus an independent secondary source.
- Validate every reading: correct format, correct currency, a positive number, within a sane range, and fresh enough.
- Cross-check the primary and secondary reading for each figure - they must agree within a small tolerance. The primary reading is used for the calculation; readings are never averaged.
- Compare the result with the last verified price. An abnormally large jump is held for a human to confirm rather than published automatically.
- Calculate: spot price x USD/LKR rate, divided by 31.1034768 (grams per troy ounce), multiplied by karat/24. Rounding happens once, at the end.
- Store the new price only if it changed, roll it into the daily history, refresh the RSS feed, and clear cached pages.
