About Qatar Central Bank

Qatar Central Bank publishes daily riyal exchange rates for the major currencies, with the US dollar fixed at the 3.64 QAR peg maintained since 1980 and the crosses (EUR, GBP, CHF, CAD, AUD, HKD) moving each business day. The published series starts in January 2024. Two stale series the bank still reprints (JPY, CNH — frozen since 2021/2022) are deliberately excluded from this feed.

Quick start

One request for the pair you need — USD to QAR at the official Qatar Central Bank rate:

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

Or the bank's full published table:

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

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

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

Node.js / TypeScript client

A dedicated zero-dependency npm package wraps these endpoints — qcb-exchange-rate:

npm install qcb-exchange-rate
import { getRate } from 'qcb-exchange-rate';

const pair = await getRate('USD', 'QAR', { 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 Qatar Central Bank rate?

Live market rates move continuously, but tax filings, customs declarations, audits, and statutory accounting in Qatar and beyond typically require the official rate published by Qatar Central Bank 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 QAR) and explicitly flagged "derived": true — so what the bank printed and what was computed are never confused.

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.
