Reserve Bank of Fiji Exchange Rate API: Official FJD Rates as JSON

The Reserve Bank of Fiji publishes the official exchange rates that accounting, tax, and customs rules in Fiji reference — published official rates, not moving market prices. This guide shows how to pull them as JSON: via a REST endpoint or the zero-dependency reserve-bank-of-fiji-exchange-rate npm package.

What the RBF publishes

• The daily RBF mid-rate per Fiji dollar for eight series — around 0.4499 US dollars, 0.6298 Australian dollars and 0.764 New Zealand dollars per FJD on 2 September 2026.
• The basket currencies — the Fiji dollar is managed against a basket of its main trading partners' currencies, and the table covers exactly those: USD, AUD, NZD, GBP, EUR, JPY, CHF plus the SDR.
• The bank's own orientation preserved — foreign units per one Fiji dollar, as statistical table 8.8 prints it; the API also serves the inverse, flagged as derived.
• History back to 2 January 2001 in our API — a quarter century of daily mid-rates, queryable by exact date or as a series.

The RBF mid-rate is the official Fiji dollar reference: the figure Fijian banks, the customs service and the revenue service use for statutory conversion, and the one a tourism operator or importer cites on an invoice — the API serves that number with the bank's own date.

Why official rates, not market rates

A live mid-market feed answers "what is FJD/USD trading at right now?" — the right tool for checkouts and dashboards. But accountants, auditors, and tax authorities ask a different question: "which rate were you required to use for this date?" That answer comes from the Reserve Bank of Fiji's published rates, and it never changes after publication.

Get the latest rates (REST)

curl "https://allratestoday.com/api/v1/central-bank/rbf/latest" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

The response is the bank's most recent published data — every rate and the publication date. The latest rates are available on every plan, including the free tier (300 requests/month, no credit card).

The npm SDK

npm install reserve-bank-of-fiji-exchange-rate

import { getRate, getLatestRates } from 'reserve-bank-of-fiji-exchange-rate';

// One pair at the official RBF rate
const pair = await getRate('FJD', 'USD', { apiKey: 'art_live_...' });
console.log(pair.rate, pair.rate_date);

// The bank's full published table
const table = await getLatestRates({ apiKey: 'art_live_...' });
console.log(table.rate_date, table.rates.length);

Zero dependencies, TypeScript types included, and it runs anywhere fetch exists — Node 18+, Bun, Deno, and edge runtimes.

Historical rates for an invoice date

import { getRatesForDate, getHistory } from 'reserve-bank-of-fiji-exchange-rate';

// The official rates for an invoice date — non-publication days return
// the most recent published date, flagged via published_on_requested_date.
const day = await getRatesForDate('2026-06-30', { apiKey: 'art_live_...' });

// Time series for one pair
const series = await getHistory(
  { source: 'FJD', target: 'USD', from: '2026-01-01' },
  { apiKey: 'art_live_...' }
);

Historical dates and time series need a paid plan; the latest rates stay free.

Published vs derived pairs

If the RBF does not print a pair directly, the API resolves it from the bank's published rates — an inverse, or a cross rate via FJD — and flags it derived: true with the method used. Official and computed values are never silently mixed, which is exactly the distinction an auditor will ask about.

A quarter century of the mid-rate

Our archive starts on 2 January 2001, when a Fiji dollar bought 0.46 US dollars, and runs through the 2009 devaluation and on to today — every business day's eight-currency table, stored with its date. For a past invoice date, one call returns the rate in force.

FAQ

Does the Reserve Bank of Fiji have an official exchange rate API?

The RBF publishes its official rates on its own site, and AllRatesToday serves the same published rates as clean JSON via REST or the reserve-bank-of-fiji-exchange-rate npm package. The latest rates are free (300 requests/month); historical dates need a paid plan.

How often do Reserve Bank of Fiji rates update?

Once per business day, as the RBF mid-rate per Fiji dollar for eight currencies, published in statistical table 8.8. The bank sometimes uploads a few days at once; every API response carries the bank's own rate date.

Can I get the RBF rate for a past date, like an invoice date?

Yes. The /central-bank/rbf/rates-for-date endpoint returns the official rates for any archived date. Non-publication days resolve to the most recent published date and are flagged via published_on_requested_date.
