The spot price of natural gas depends on the location. It might be different in Europe compared to the US, as it cannot be easily transported from one continent to another.
Here is a source for the natural gas spot prices at Henry Hub.
You should be able to copy/paste this data into a text file and then from there import it into EXCEL for the analysis and charting you need to do.
To emphasize @Fat Tails point about pricing varying around the world this graphic shows this gap clearly and why Canada is anxious to build LNG terminals on the Pacific coast to service that market in Japan

US = Shale Gas production surge/surplus and no export potential
Japan = Always been a large LNG importer but post the Fukushima Nuclear accident this has increased
It's worth noting that with crude at $106/bbl this equates to $18/MMbtu.
Before the US jump in production, the relationship between (US) NG and CL was a lot more stable than it is now.
Well it is more political will and infrastructure that puts restrictions on the export of Natural Gas not the fact that it is from the fracking of shale to get at the source.
I am Canadian so we have a different perspective on the export of this product. Our normal market was the USA however, with the glut on the market there the ability to sell this commodity has been severely restricted. As a result Canada has been forced to look for other countries to market our Natural Gas. As a result there is at least 2 if not 3 Liquid Natural Gas facilities in early planning stages on the British Columbia coast line. We have no laws restricting the export of this commodity, though the approval process for additional pipelines through the Rockies has many hoops to go through.
So from a Canadian perspective we have little choice but to develop export capability...we have to divorce ourselves from the single source market being the USA.
