Board shown: **Exchange rates (buy / sell)**.

### Python

    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer art_live_your_key"},
    timeout=10,

## Endpoints

- `GET /api/v1/bank-rates/eg` — every covered bank in Egypt, latest board each, plus `official_source` and `official_date`.
- `GET /api/v1/bank-rates/eg/nbkeg` — one bank’s latest board.
- `?ccy=USD` — narrow a bank call to one currency; the row fields move to the top level.
- `?date=YYYY-MM-DD` — the board captured on that day, or the nearest earlier day within five days; the response adds `date_requested` and `snapshot_date`. Every plan.
- `GET /api/v1/bank-rates/eg/nbkeg/history?ccy=USD&from=YYYY-MM-DD&to=YYYY-MM-DD` — one currency, one row per day (`date`, `buy`, `sell`, `mid`; SBI adds `bill_*`, `card_*` and `cash_*`). Defaults to the last year; `&format=csv`, `xml` or `xlsx`. Paid plans, one call per month covered. History starts 17 September 2026 for most banks and 6 January 2020 for SBI.

## Response fields

| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `quote_ccy` | EGP. Every price is EGP per 1 unit of `ccy`. |
| `buy` | What the bank pays you in EGP for one unit of foreign currency. |
| `sell` | What the bank charges you in EGP for one unit — the rate for sending money abroad. |
| `mid`, `spread_pct` | Midpoint of buy and sell; spread = (sell − buy) ÷ mid, in percent. |
| `official`, `vs_official_pct` | The Central Bank of Egypt rate for the same currency and how far the bank’s mid sits from it. |
| `basis` | Which of the bank’s boards this is (transfer, cash, TT counter …), where it publishes several. |
| `captured_at` | When AllRatesToday read the bank’s page (UTC). Boards are read hourly. |
| `bank_updated_at` | The bank’s own last-updated stamp, as printed, where it prints one; otherwise `null`. |

## Errors and limits

- `401` — no key or an invalid key. Any plan’s key works, the free one included.
- `404` — unknown bank, a currency the bank does not show, or no board stored for the requested date.
- `400` — `date` not in `YYYY-MM-DD` form, or in the future.
- Each call counts against your plan. Responses can be cached for five minutes; past-day boards never change.
- Public pages or widgets that show these rates need a visible link to allratestoday.com.

## Why use bank board rates through an API?

The Central Bank of Egypt official rate is what accounting, tax and customs rules name, but it is not what a customer pays at the counter or in an app. Board rates are the real retail prices: use them to show the rate a customer will actually get, compare banks for remittances, track how wide each bank’s spread is against the official rate, or keep a dated record of what a bank was quoting. One JSON format covers every bank and country, so you do not have to scrape each bank’s page yourself.
