The ariary floats, and the BFM's MID rate is the official reference Malagasy customs, the tax administration and the banks convert at; our archive runs from September 2023.

Why use the official Central Bank of Madagascar (BFM) rate?

When an auditor or tax office in Madagascar asks which rate you used, "the MGA mid-market rate at 14:32" is not an answer — the official rate published by Central Bank of Madagascar (BFM) for that date is. This API returns exactly those published figures, stamped with the bank's own rate_date; on weekends and holidays the most recent published table is returned, as compliance rules expect.

If a pair isn't in the bank's published table, the API computes it from that table (inverse or cross via MGA) and marks it "derived": true — published and computed values are never silently mixed.

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.
