Understanding the HKD/CNY Exchange Rate
The HKD/CNY exchange rate tells you how many Chinese yuan you get for 1 Hong Kong Dollar.
This is the mid-market rate — the real exchange rate without any markup. It's the same rate used by Google Finance.
AllRatesToday provides this rate via a free REST API, updated every 60 seconds from institutional interbank market data.
Integrate live HKD/CNY rates into your app with our official SDKs for JavaScript, Python, PHP, and React.
The exchange rate between HKD and CNY fluctuates based on supply and demand in the foreign exchange market.
Economic data releases, central bank announcements, and geopolitical events can all cause significant movements in the rate.
Currency converter API for HKD to CNY
This converter is a thin layer over two APIs. Both return JSON, both take one
HTTP call, and both have a free tier — no credit card.
Mid-market exchange rate API
The live interbank midpoint — the number shown above. It moves continuously
and is refreshed every 60 seconds across 160 currencies.
Use it for pricing, checkout, display and anything a customer sees.
The rate a named institution actually published for a given date, from
116 central banks and 3 tax
authorities. Unlike a mid-market rate it never changes after publication,
which is what tax filings, customs valuations and audits require.
Any past date — /central-bank/{bank}/2026-06-30. If the bank did not publish that day you get the most recent prior date, flagged.
Every bank at once — /api/v1/central-banks/rates returns all sources for one pair, so you can compare what each institution published.
Nothing is guessed — pairs a bank does not print are cross-computed from that bank's own table and returned with "derived": true and the method used. Banks are never mixed.
An MCP server — @allratestoday/mcp-server — lets Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients pull these rates directly, no glue code.
Free tier
300 requests, no credit card, no trial expiry. Paid plans start at €4.99/month for 5,000 requests a month.
Which one do you need? If a regulator, tax authority or auditor
names the source, use the official rate — the two can differ by several percent
on the same day. For everything a customer sees, use the mid-market rate.
On weekends and holidays the official endpoints return the most recent published
date, which is the figure compliance rules expect you to apply.
