Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Frankfurter FX Rates Scraper Fetches foreign exchange rates from the [Frankfurter API](https://frankfurter.dev/), which publishes daily reference rates sourced from the **European Central Bank**. ### What it does - Returns the latest published FX rates for a base currency - Supports historical date ranges (any range since 1999) - Filter to specific target currencies (e.g. only USD, GBP, JPY) - Optional `amount` parameter for direct conversion math - One record per (date x target currency) row — ready for warehousing ### Output fields | Field | Description | |---|---| | `date` | Rate publication date (YYYY-MM-DD) | | `baseCurrency` | ISO base currency code | | `targetCurrency` | ISO target currency code | | `rate` | 1 baseCurrency = `rate` targetCurrency | | `amount` | Input amount (default 1) | | `convertedAmount` | `amount * rate` | ### Example input ```json { "baseCurrency": "USD", "targetCurrencies": "EUR,GBP,JPY", "startDate": "2024-01-01", "endDate": "2024-01-31" } ```` Leave all fields empty (or run with `{}`) to get the latest rates against EUR. ### Pricing Pay-per-result. Useful for treasury, accounting, marketplace pricing, and analytics workflows that need verified central-bank reference data without managing the upstream API. ### Disclaimer This Actor only retrieves publicly available central-bank reference rates. Data is provided by the Frankfurter project, which sources rates from the European Central Bank. No personal data is collected. Use responsibly and in compliance with the upstream service's terms. # Actor input Schema ## `baseCurrency` (type: `string`): ISO 4217 base currency code (e.g. EUR, USD, GBP). Defaults to EUR. ## `targetCurrencies` (type: `string`): Comma-separated ISO codes to filter (e.g. 'USD,GBP,JPY'). Leave empty for all available currencies. ## `startDate` (type: `string`): Historical start date (YYYY-MM-DD). If both startDate and endDate are empty, returns latest rates only. ## `endDate` (type: `string`): Historical end date (YYYY-MM-DD). If empty but startDate set, returns startDate to today. ## `amount` (type: `integer`): Amount of base currency to convert. Use 1 for raw rates. ## Actor input object example ```json { "baseCurrency": "EUR", "targetCurrencies": "", "startDate": "", "endDate": "", "amount": 1 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `dataset` (type: `string`): No description # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("compute-edge/frankfurter-fx-rates-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
