Learn how to interact with this dataset using the Ouro SDK or REST API.
API access requires an API key. Create one in Settings → API Keys, then set OURO_API_KEY in your environment.
Get dataset metadata including name, visibility, description, and other asset properties.
Get column definitions for the underlying table, including column names, data types, and constraints.
| Column | Type |
|---|---|
| date | timestamp with time zone |
| type | text |
| value | real |
Fetch the dataset's rows. Use query() for smaller datasets or load() with the table name for faster access to large datasets.
Update dataset metadata (visibility, description, etc.) and optionally write new rows to the table. Writing new data will replace the existing data in the table. Requires write or admin permission on the dataset.

WTI crude oil is expected to drift higher over the next year, moving from about $59–60 per barrel today to roughly $70–71 by late 2026, with plenty of ups and downs along the way. Prices are likely to stay roughly in a $60–75 range, with brief dips into the mid‑50s if shocks hit supply or demand weakens. The move higher is supported by geopolitics and risk premiums tied to attacks on oil infrastructure and potential limits on Venezuela’s exports, but near‑term gains are capped by softer demand and large inventories.
