FX Rates API: Official ECB Exchange Rates + CFA Franc & Gulf Pegs
Convert currencies with the official European Central Bank (ECB) reference rates, daily since 1999, plus the officially pegged currencies the ECB does not publish:
- CFA francs XOF (BCEAO) and XAF (BEAC), Comorian franc KMF, Cape Verde escudo CVE (fixed to the euro)
- UAE dirham AED, Saudi riyal SAR, Qatari riyal QAR, Bahraini dinar BHD, Omani rial OMR (fixed to the US dollar)
Every answer states the rate date, the method (direct ECB rate, cross rate via EUR, or peg-derived) and the source, so an AI agent or an accountant can justify the number.
Three operations
| Operation | What you get |
|---|---|
| Conversion | Amount converted between two currencies, today or at any date since 1999 (weekends/holidays fall back to the last ECB business day, with a note). |
| Time series | Daily rates for a pair over up to 366 days, with min, max, mean and % change. |
| Rate table | All official rates for a base currency on the latest (or a given) ECB fixing date. |
Use cases
- An AI invoicing or bookkeeping agent converts a USD invoice to EUR at the official rate of the invoice date.
- An e-commerce site in West Africa shows prices in XOF from EUR or USD.
- A Dubai trading desk converts AED quotes to EUR or GBP.
- A treasury report needs the GBP/USD trend for last quarter.

Honest limits
- Not real-time: ECB reference rates are published once a day around 16:00 CET on TARGET business days. No intraday or market rates.
- ECB rates are published for information purposes: they are not the rate your bank will apply to a transaction.
- Currencies outside the ECB list and outside official pegs (e.g. NGN, KES, MAD, EGP) are not covered and are answered with
unsupported_currency(not charged).
Data sources
- ECB euro foreign exchange reference rates, free reuse with source acknowledgement. Downloaded live at each run.
- Official fixed parities set by treaty or central banks (BCEAO, BEAC, Banque Centrale des Comores, Banco de Cabo Verde, CBUAE, SAMA, QCB, CBB, CBO).
