About Banque de la République d'Haïti
The Banque de la République d'Haïti publishes a daily taux de référence for the US dollar in gourdes — a weighted average of the banking system's spot transactions — alongside the banking market's buying and selling rates. It is the legal reference for invoices, customs and tax in Haiti, where the dollar is the second currency in everyday use, and the bank refreshes it on Saturdays too.

Quick start
One request for the pair you need — USD to HTG at the official Banque de la République d'Haïti rate:
curl "https://allratestoday.com/api/v1/central-bank/brh/latest?source=USD&target=HTG" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer art_live_your_key" Or the bank's full published table:
curl "https://allratestoday.com/api/v1/central-bank/brh/latest" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer art_live_your_key" On paid plans, any historical date or a time series:

-H "Authorization: Bearer art_live_your_key" Node.js / TypeScript client
A dedicated zero-dependency npm package wraps these endpoints — brh-exchange-rate:
npm install brh-exchange-rate import { getRate } from 'brh-exchange-rate';
const pair = await getRate('USD', 'HTG', { 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 de la République d'Haïti rate?
Live market rates move continuously, but tax filings, customs declarations, audits, and statutory accounting in Haiti and beyond typically require the official rate published by Banque de la République d'Haïti 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 HTG) and explicitly flagged "derived": true — so what the bank printed and what was computed are never confused.

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.
