Bank Negara Malaysia Exchange Rate API

Official Bank Negara Malaysia (Malaysia) daily exchange rates as JSON: 27 currencies, history back to 2026. The published MYR rates required for tax, audits, and compliant invoicing.

Quick start

One request for the pair you need — USD to MYR at the official Bank Negara Malaysia rate:

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

Or the bank's full published table:

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

On paid plans, any historical date or a daily time series:

curl "https://allratestoday.com/api/v1/central-bank/bnm/history?source=USD&target=MYR&from=2025-01-01" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer art_live_your_key"

Latest published rates (2026-07-28)

The most recent table as published by Bank Negara Malaysia — exactly what the /latest endpoint returns right now. Values are MYR per 1 unit of each currency:

Why use the official Bank Negara Malaysia rate?

Live market rates move continuously, but tax filings, customs declarations, audits, and statutory accounting in Malaysia and beyond typically require the official rate published by Bank Negara Malaysia for a given date — a fixed, citable number that never changes after publication. This API serves those published tables with the bank's own rate_date on every response; weekends and holidays return the most recent published date, which is the rate compliance rules require you to apply.

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

Endpoints

• GET /api/v1/central-bank/bnm/latest — latest table or single pair (all plans)
• GET /api/v1/central-bank/bnm/{YYYY-MM-DD} — the table for any date (paid plans)
• GET /api/v1/central-bank/bnm/history — daily time series, up to 5,000 rows (paid plans)

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 day's table locally makes a small quota go far.
