About Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe
The Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe publishes the interbank exchange rate for the Zimbabwe Gold (ZiG) each business morning: bid, ask and mid rates in ZiG per unit for the US dollar, the rand and some 30 other currencies, plus gold. The ZiG replaced the Zimbabwe dollar in April 2024 and is managed against the bank's gold and foreign-currency reserves, and the RBZ interbank mid-rate is the official reference Zimbabwean banks, customs and the revenue authority use; our archive starts on the currency's first day, 8 April 2024.

Node.js / TypeScript client
A dedicated zero-dependency npm package wraps these endpoints — reserve-bank-of-zimbabwe-exchange-rate:
npm install reserve-bank-of-zimbabwe-exchange-rate import { getRate } from 'reserve-bank-of-zimbabwe-exchange-rate';
const pair = await getRate('USD', 'ZWG', { 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.
Full reference — installation, all four functions, response shapes, error codes: reserve-bank-of-zimbabwe-exchange-rate documentation.
Why use the official Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe rate?
Live market rates move continuously, but tax filings, customs declarations, audits, and statutory accounting in Zimbabwe and beyond typically require the official rate published by Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe 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 ZWG) and explicitly flagged "derived": true — so what the bank printed and what was computed are never confused.
Endpoints
GET /api/v1/central-bank/rbz/latest— latest table or single pair (all plans)GET /api/v1/central-bank/rbz/{YYYY-MM-DD}— the table for any date (paid plans)GET /api/v1/central-bank/rbz/history— time series, up to 5,000 rows (paid plans)GET /api/v1/central-bank/rbz/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.
