About Banque Centrale du Congo

The Banque Centrale du Congo publishes the official exchange-market table for the Congolese franc every business day: mid, buying and selling rates for 21 currencies including the US dollar, euro, SDR and the regional CFA and East African units. It is the reference for customs valuation, tax and public accounting in DR Congo.

Node.js / TypeScript client

A dedicated zero-dependency npm package wraps these endpoints — banque-centrale-du-congo-exchange-rate:

npm install banque-centrale-du-congo-exchange-rate
import { getRate } from 'banque-centrale-du-congo-exchange-rate';

const pair = await getRate('USD', 'CDF', { apiKey: 'art_live_...' });
console.log(pair.rate, pair.rate_date);

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

Why use the official Banque Centrale du Congo rate?

A market rate is a moving target; the rate Banque Centrale du Congo publishes is a fixed, citable figure that stays put once printed — which is why invoicing, customs, audit evidence, and statutory accounting in DR Congo lean on it rather than on a live feed. Every response from this API carries the bank's own rate_date, and on days with no publication you get the most recent published table — the one compliance rules tell you to apply.

Pairs the bank doesn't print directly are resolved from its table (inverse or cross via CDF) and explicitly flagged "derived": true — so what the bank printed and what was computed are never confused.

Endpoints

Full parameter reference in the API documentation. Every request counts toward your plan's monthly quota — rates change once per business day, so caching a published table locally makes a small quota go far.
