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

Or the bank's full published table:

Node.js / TypeScript client

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

npm install rbi-exchange-rate

import { getRate } from 'rbi-exchange-rate';

const pair = await getRate('USD', 'INR', { apiKey: 'art_live_...' });
console.log(pair.rate, pair.rate_date);

Why use the official Reserve Bank of India rate?

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

Endpoints

• GET /api/v1/central-bank/rbi/latest — latest table or single pair (all plans)
• GET /api/v1/central-bank/rbi/{YYYY-MM-DD} — the table for any date (paid plans)
• GET /api/v1/central-bank/rbi/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.
