One request for the pair you need — EUR to CHF at the official Swiss National Bank rate:

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

What comes back — a real response built from the table in force (2026-11-03):

{
  "bank": "snb",
  "name": "Swiss National Bank",
  "rate_date": "2026-11-03",
  "source": "EUR",
  "target": "CHF",
  "rate": 0.9152,

Latest published rates (2026-11-03)

Node.js / TypeScript client

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

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

const pair = await getRate('EUR', 'CHF', { 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: snb-exchange-rate documentation.

Why use the official Swiss National Bank rate?

A market rate is a moving target; the rate Swiss National Bank publishes is a fixed, citable figure that stays put once printed — which is why invoicing, customs, audit evidence, and statutory accounting in Switzerland lean on it rather than on a live feed. Every response from this API carries the bank's own rate_date, and on days with no publication you get the most recent published table — the one compliance rules tell you to apply.

If a pair isn't in the bank's published table, the API computes it from that table (inverse or cross via CHF) 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.
