Understanding the SDG/KES Exchange Rate

The SDG/KES exchange rate tells you how many Kenyan shillings you get for 1 SDG. This is the mid-market rate — the real exchange rate without any markup. It's the same rate used by Google Finance.

The exchange rate between SDG and KES 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 SDG to KES

  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

[{ "rate": 0.8643, "source": "SDG", "target": "KES",
   "time": "2026-08-16T11:01:24+0000" }]
  • Several targets at once — target=KES,GBP,JPY returns one row per pair in a single call.
  • Historical — /api/historical-rates for a date range, or ?time=YYYY-MM-DD for one past day.
  • Four formats — add ?format=csv, xml or xlsx to get a file instead of JSON.

Central bank rate API

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. 

curl "https://allratestoday.com/api/v1/central-bank/ecb/latest?source=SDG&target=KES" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

{ "bank": "ecb", "rate_date": "2026-08-14", "rate": 0.8643,
  "rate_type": "reference", "derived": false, "method": "published" }
  • 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.

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.

How SDG/KES Exchange Rates Work

Exchange rates are determined by supply and demand in the global foreign exchange (forex) market, the largest financial market in the world with over $6 trillion traded daily.

Floating vs Fixed Rates: Most major currencies like SDG and KES have floating exchange rates, meaning their value is determined by market forces. Some currencies are pegged to another currency (usually USD) at a fixed rate.
