About Bank of Namibia
The Bank of Namibia publishes daily indicative rates for the Namibia dollar against the US dollar, euro, pound sterling and the Angolan kwanza. The Namibia dollar is pegged one-to-one to the South African rand under the Common Monetary Area, so the bank's dollar rate tracks the rand's; its published figure is the official reference for Namibian customs, tax and bank conversion. The bank serves only the current day's table, so our archive builds forward from September 2026.

Node.js / TypeScript client
A dedicated zero-dependency npm package wraps these endpoints — bank-of-namibia-exchange-rate:
npm install bank-of-namibia-exchange-rate import { getRate } from 'bank-of-namibia-exchange-rate';
const pair = await getRate('USD', 'NAD', { 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 Bank of Namibia rate?
Live market rates move continuously, but tax filings, customs declarations, audits, and statutory accounting in Namibia and beyond typically require the official rate published by Bank of Namibia 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.
If a pair isn't in the bank's published table, the API computes it from that table (inverse or cross via NAD) and marks it "derived": true — published and computed values are never silently mixed.
Endpoints
GET /api/v1/central-bank/bon/latest— latest table or single pair (all plans)GET /api/v1/central-bank/bon/{YYYY-MM-DD}— the table for any date (paid plans)GET /api/v1/central-bank/bon/history— time series, up to 5,000 rows (paid plans)GET /api/v1/central-bank/bon/availability— publication calendar: the dates the bank actually published (all 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 published table locally makes a small quota go far.
