# Central Bank API: Official Exchange Rates from 122 Central Banks

Official central bank exchange rates via one API: [122 central banks](https://allratestoday.com/central-bank-rates-api/institutions/) including the US Federal Reserve, ECB, Bank of England, People's Bank of China, Reserve Bank of India (RBI), and Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL), with history back to 1999. The published rates required for tax, customs, audits, and compliant invoicing.

  **The short version:** the official rates central banks actually publish — the Fed, ECB, Bank of England, People's Bank of China, Reserve Bank of India, Bank of Canada, Central Bank of Sri Lanka, and more — as clean JSON, with history back to 1999 and decades deeper for several banks (the SNB series reaches 1914, the Bank of Korea 1964) — not just the last few years. Latest rates are included on every plan — each request counts toward your monthly quota, same as the core API. [Get your API key](https://allratestoday.com/register).

## Why official rates, not market rates?

Live mid-market rates are right for converters and price displays — that's what our [core rates API](https://allratestoday.com/docs/) serves. But tax filings, customs declarations, audits, statutory accounts, and invoicing rules in many countries don't ask what the market said: they require the **official rate published by the central bank** for a given date. That number is fixed, citable, and never changes after publication.

This API serves exactly those published tables — each response carries the bank's own publication date (`rate_date`), and anything computed rather than printed by the bank is explicitly flagged.

## Covered central banks

Covered — click a country for its bank's rates API. The euro area links to the [ECB reference rates](https://allratestoday.com/central-bank-rates-api/ecb/).

The full list of all [126 institutions](https://allratestoday.com/central-bank-rates-api/institutions/), with each one's code, currencies, history start and latest publication date, has its own page.

**Currencies** counts what each source publishes *today*. Series a source has retired — the ECB's pre-euro currencies, for example — are left out of that number but remain available from the historical endpoints.

More banks are on the roadmap, with a focus on South and Southeast Asian central banks that other providers skip. Need a specific bank? [Tell us](https://allratestoday.com/contact/) — coverage requests move banks up the queue.

Need spreadsheets instead of an API? The [download page](https://allratestoday.com/download-central-bank-rates/) serves every bank’s latest table and date-range history as Excel, CSV or JSON — included in every paid plan, no API key needed.

[Download Central Bank Rates (Excel / CSV)](https://allratestoday.com/download-central-bank-rates/)

## Quick start

Same API keys and authentication as the rest of AllRatesToday. Ask for a pair with the familiar `source`/`target` parameters:

```
curl "https://allratestoday.com/api/v1/central-bank/cbsl/latest?source=USD&target=LKR" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer art_live_your_key"
```

Response:

```
{
  "bank": "cbsl",
  "name": "Central Bank of Sri Lanka",
  "rate_date": "2026-07-28",
  "source": "USD",
  "target": "LKR",
  "rate": 336.2512,
  "rate_type": "indicative",
  "derived": false,
  "method": "published"
}
```

Or fetch the bank's full published table:

```
curl "https://allratestoday.com/api/v1/central-bank/ecb/latest" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer art_live_your_key"
```

On paid plans, any historical date or time series — for example the ECB rate to apply for an invoice dated June 30:

```
curl "https://allratestoday.com/api/v1/central-bank/ecb/2026-06-30?source=USD&target=EUR" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer art_live_your_key"
```

## Published vs derived — always explicit

If a bank doesn't publish your pair directly, the API resolves it from the bank's own table: the inverse pair, or a cross rate via the bank's home currency (USD→JPY from the ECB's EUR→USD and EUR→JPY, for instance). Every such result returns `"derived": true` and the `method` used — so you always know whether a number was printed by the central bank or calculated from what it printed. For strict compliance work, use the pairs the bank publishes; the `derived` flag makes the difference impossible to miss.

Weekends and holidays behave the way auditors expect: the API returns the most recent published table with its true `rate_date` and a `published_on_requested_date` flag, because the applicable official rate on a Sunday is Friday's.

## What's on which plan

- **All plans (including the free tier):** `/central-banks` coverage list and `/latest` for every covered bank — full table or single pair
- **Paid plans:** any historical date (`/{bank}/2026-06-30`) and daily time series (`/{bank}/history`, up to 5,000 rows per request)

**Every central-bank request counts as one API call** against the same monthly quota as the core rates API — one key, one plan, [one bill](https://allratestoday.com/pricing/). History is metered by volume: one API call per currency per month of data (a one-year single-pair series is 12 calls; each response reports the charge in `billed_requests`). Central bank rates change once per business day, so caching a day's table locally makes a small quota go a very long way.

## Built for

- **Invoicing & accounting** — apply the official rate for the invoice date, automatically
- **Tax & customs** — cite the exact published rate authorities expect
- **Audit & reporting** — reproducible historical tables that never change after publication
- **ERP integrations** — one JSON API instead of scraping central bank websites

## Frequently asked questions

### What is a central bank exchange rate API?

An API returning the official rates central banks publish — the fixed daily reference numbers compliance rules cite — rather than live market prices.

### How is this different from your live rates API?

The [core API](https://allratestoday.com/docs/) serves real-time mid-market rates that move continuously. This API serves the once-per-business-day tables the banks themselves publish. Many workflows need both — same key covers both.

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

Yes — request any date and you get the bank's official table for it, or a daily time series for one pair. Archives run deep: ECB back to 1999, Nigeria to 2001, India to 2003, Sri Lanka to 2010. Historical data is on [paid plans](https://allratestoday.com/pricing/); the latest table is free.

### What about weekends and holidays?

You get the most recent published table with its true `rate_date` — the rate that legally applies on non-business days.

### Can I get more banks added?

Yes — coverage is expanding, prioritized by request. [Ask for the bank you need](https://allratestoday.com/contact/).

## Try it without an API key

Swap `ecb` for any source code from the [list of all institutions](https://allratestoday.com/central-bank-rates-api/institutions/). No API key, no sign-up, CORS open — so it works from a browser as well as a server. Every source's most recently published table is available this way, either in full or narrowed to one pair with `?source=&target=`.

```
curl "https://allratestoday.com/api/open/central-bank/ecb?source=USD&target=EUR"
```

```
{
  "bank": "ecb",
  "rate_date": "2026-08-28",
  "source": "USD",
  "target": "EUR",
  "rate": 0.8588851671,
  "rate_type": "reference",
  "derived": true,
  "method": "inverse"
}
```

`rate_date` is the publisher's own date, not today's: most sources publish on business days only, so a weekend request returns the last table actually published. `derived: true` means the institution does not publish that pair directly and it was cross-computed within its own table. Free to use with a visible attribution link back to this site. Historical dates, time series and publication calendars need a [free API key](https://allratestoday.com/register).

## SDKs

Dedicated clients for these official rates, in JavaScript and Python. Both are keyless by default — `latest()` returns any source's newest published table with no API key — and both are zero-dependency. Methods that need a key say so before making a request.

```
npm install @allratestoday/central-bank
```

```
pip install allratestoday-central-bank
```

```
import { CentralBankRates } from '@allratestoday/central-bank';

const cb = new CentralBankRates();                        // no API key
const pair = await cb.latest('ecb', { source: 'USD', target: 'EUR' });
console.log(pair.rate, 'published', pair.rate_date);
```

Building something automated on these rates? `GET /api/open/central-banks` (keyless) lists every source's latest publication date with a `stale` flag, and each rate response carries `age_days` — so a lagging source is detectable by your pipeline, not just by us.
