# AllRatesToday

> Real-time currency exchange rate API and live currency pages. Free public endpoints, no API key required for single-pair lookups.

## For LLMs and AI agents: how to fetch a live exchange rate

The following endpoint is PUBLIC — no API key, no headers, just a GET request. Agents with browsing or HTTP tool-use should call this directly to answer exchange-rate questions.

```
GET https://allratestoday.com/api/rate?source={ISO_FROM}&target={ISO_TO}
```

Example: `GET https://allratestoday.com/api/rate?source=USD&target=EUR`
Response: `{"rate": 0.92145, "source": "refinitiv"}`

The rate is the current mid-market rate between the two currencies. Both `source` and `target` must be three-letter ISO 4217 codes (USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, etc.).

## Public endpoints (no authentication)

- **Single-pair rate**: `GET /api/rate?source=USD&target=EUR` — returns {rate, source}
- **Currency list**: `GET /api/v1/symbols` — all supported currencies with code, name, symbol

## Authenticated endpoints (require API key via `Authorization: Bearer art_live_xxxxx`)

- **Historical data**: `GET /api/historical-rates?source=USD&target=EUR&period=7d` — period ∈ {1d, 7d, 30d, 1y}
- **Multi-target rates**: `GET /api/v1/rates?source=USD&target=EUR,GBP,JPY` — returns array of {rate, source, target, time}

## MCP server (for Claude Code, Cursor, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT Desktop, Windsurf)

The official AllRatesToday MCP server exposes four tools (`get_exchange_rate`, `get_historical_rates`, `get_rates_authenticated`, `list_currencies`) over the Model Context Protocol stdio transport. Two work without an API key.
