## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## ECB Exchange Rates Scraper – Official Euro FX Rates

**ECB exchange rates scraper** that returns the **official euro foreign exchange reference rates** published daily by the European Central Bank for about 30 currencies (USD, GBP, JPY, CHF, CNY, …). Get the latest rates, the last 90 days or the full history since 1999, as clean rows ready for spreadsheets, invoices and automations. Source: ECB statistics.

### What does it do?

- Date, base (EUR), currency and pair.
- Rate as a number and exactly as published.
- Source and link to the ECB page.

### Use cases

- **Invoicing and accounting**: convert prices and invoices with the official daily rate.
- **E-commerce and solopreneurs**: update multi-currency price lists automatically.
- **AI agents and automation**: give an agent or a Make/Zapier/n8n flow a trusted FX rate.
- **Content and SEO**: daily EUR/USD posts and historical charts.

### Input

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `currencies` | ISO codes. Empty = all ~30. Example: USD, GBP, CHF |
| `daysBack` | 1 = latest rates. Up to full history since 1999. |
| `maxItems` | Newest first. |

Example input:

```json
{
  "currencies": [
    "USD",
    "GBP",
    "JPY",
    "CHF",
    "CNY"
  ],
  "daysBack": 7,
  "maxItems": 25
}
```

### Output

Real output (first items of a run on 26 Oct 2026):

```json
[]
```

Export the results as JSON, CSV or Excel, read them through the API, or send them to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier, n8n or webhooks. You can also run this Actor from AI agents through the Apify MCP server.

### Pricing

Pay per event: **$1.80 per 1,000 rates** plus $0.00005 per run start. There is no extra platform usage charge.

### FAQ

**When are rates updated?** The ECB publishes around 16:00 CET on TARGET working days.

**Can I get USD/GBP cross rates?** The Actor outputs official EUR-based rates unmodified; any cross rate you compute is your own derived figure.

**Can I use it commercially?** Yes. ESCB statistics may be reused free of charge, including commercially, if you quote "Source: ECB statistics" and do not modify them. These rates are also available free of charge on the ECB website.

**Do I need a login or API key?** No. It uses the source's public API; you only need an Apify account.

**Can AI agents use it?** Yes. Call it through the Apify API, or from Claude, Cursor or any MCP client via the Apify MCP server.

echo '{}' |
apify call fluyeporlaweb/ecb-exchange-rates-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
