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 ## BNM API - Malaysia FX Rates, OPR, Kijang Emas & MGS Yields Extract data from the **Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) Open API** — the official Malaysian central bank data portal. Covers MYR foreign exchange rates, Overnight Policy Rate (OPR), bank base/lending rates, kijang emas gold prices, Malaysian Government Securities (MGS) yields, interbank swap volumes, and more. No authentication required. ### What you get Each run returns clean, flat JSON records across all requested BNM endpoints: - **Exchange Rates** (`exchange_rate`) — Daily MYR buying, selling, and middle rates for 27 currencies (USD, EUR, SGD, CNY, AUD, JPY, GBP, CAD, CHF, AED, and more). These are the legally-recognised BNM reference rates for MYR-denominated financial reporting. - **Kijang Emas Gold** (`kijang_emas`) — BNM's official gold coin reference prices in RM per troy oz, half oz, and quarter oz. Used by gold dealers and jewellers across Malaysia. - **Overnight Policy Rate** (`opr`) — BNM's benchmark monetary policy rate. Updated after each Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting. - **Bank Base Rates** (`base_rate`) — Published base rate (BR) and base lending rate (BLR) for 35+ Malaysian banks. - **MGS Yields** (`mgs_yields`) — Malaysian Government Securities yields. - **FX Turnover** (`fx_turnover`) — Daily MYR foreign exchange market turnover by tenor. - **Interbank Swap** (`interbank_swap`) — Daily interbank swap volume by maturity (overnight through 12 months). - **Interest Rates** (`interest_rate`) — Money market interest rates for overnight, 1-month, and 3-month tenors. - **Welfare Fund Rate** (`welfare_fund_rate`) — Government welfare fund reference rates. ### Use cases - **Fintech and accounting tools** — BNM rates are the legally-recognised reference for MYR-denominated financial reporting in Malaysia and Singapore - **Gold dealers** — kijang emas is BNM's official gold reference, updated daily - **Fixed-income teams** — MGS yield data for Malaysian Government Securities - **Treasury and FX desks** — Daily MYR rates against 27 currencies for hedging and exposure management - **Corporate finance** — OPR and bank base rate tracking for loan pricing analysis ### Input | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |-----------|------|---------|-------------| | `endpoints` | array | `["exchange_rate", "kijang_emas", "opr"]` | BNM endpoints to fetch.

Data is official and updated daily by BNM. ### Notes - No proxy required — the BNM API is globally accessible without IP restrictions - Rate limit: 60 requests per minute (handled automatically with built-in throttling) - Date-range backfill mode generates one API call per calendar month — historical data availability varies by endpoint - Some endpoints (e.g. `mgs_yields`, `fx_turnover`) may return no data on weekends and public holidays # Actor input Schema ## `sp_intended_usage` (type: `string`): Please describe how you plan to use the data extracted by this crawler. ## `sp_improvement_suggestions` (type: `string`): Provide any feedback or suggestions for improvements. ## `sp_contact` (type: `string`): Provide your email address so we can get in touch with you. ## `endpoints` (type: `array`): No description ## `currencies` (type: `array`): ISO 4217 codes to filter.
