About Bank of Sierra Leone

The Bank of Sierra Leone publishes a daily reference rate for the new leone (SLE) — the weighted-average mid rate of the interbank market — for about 25 currencies: the majors, the Gulf currencies, the rand, yuan and Hong Kong dollar, the SDR and the West African neighbours (CFA franc, dalasi, Guinean franc, cedi, naira, Liberian dollar, Cabo Verde escudo). It is the rate Sierra Leonean customs, the revenue authority and the banks convert at. The bank keeps only the last few weeks of sheets online, so our archive builds forward from September 2026.

  -H "Authorization: Bearer art_live_your_key"

What comes back — a real response built from the table in force (2026-10-09):

{

Why use the official Bank of Sierra Leone rate?

When an auditor or tax office in Sierra Leone asks which rate you used, "the SLE mid-market rate at 14:32" is not an answer — the official rate published by Bank of Sierra Leone 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 SLE) 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.
