πŸ’± Open ER-API FX Rates Scraper

πŸš€ Export currency exchange rates for 165+ currencies in seconds. Pull live or historical FX rates against any base currency, with auto-computed inverse rates and update timestamps. No API key, no signup, no rate-limit guesswork.

The Open ER-API FX Rates Scraper queries the open.er-api.com public exchange-rate API and returns 8 fields per record, including the rate date, base currency, target currency, rate, inverse rate, and the publisher's last-update and next-update timestamps. The underlying feed is a community-funded open exchange-rate service that aggregates rates from central banks and forex providers, refreshed daily.

The catalog covers 165+ ISO 4217 currencies, from majors like USD, EUR, and JPY through emerging-market currencies, pegged currencies, and exotic pairs. This Actor produces one record per target currency, which makes the output ready to drop into a database, spreadsheet, or dashboard. Export it as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML in under a minute.

🎯 Target AudienceπŸ’‘ Primary Use Cases
Finance teams, e-commerce platforms, ERP integrators, travel apps, billing systems, journalists, currency dashboardsMulti-currency invoicing, FX revaluation, historical analysis, dashboard widgets, accounting integrations, travel-cost estimates

πŸ“‹ What the FX Rates Scraper does

Two filtering workflows in a single run:

  • πŸ’± Latest mode. Pull the most recent daily rates for any base currency against all 165+ targets.
  • πŸ“… Historical mode. Pull rates for a specific past date (YYYY-MM-DD format).
  • 🎯 Target filter. Restrict the output to a specific list of target currencies, or leave empty for all.
  • πŸ”’ Cap with maxItems. Take the top N rows when you only need a handful.

Each record includes the rate date, base currency, target currency, the rate itself (how many target units per one base unit), the auto-computed inverse rate (how many base units per one target unit), and the publisher's time_last_update_utc and time_next_update_utc so you know exactly when the feed refreshed.

πŸ’‘ Why it matters: running an e-commerce checkout, an ERP revaluation, or a travel app means knowing today's USD-to-EUR (or USD-to-NGN, or USD-to-VND) rate without paying for a commercial FX API. open.er-api.com is free to use and updated daily. This Actor structures the response into one record per target currency, with inverse rates already computed.

πŸ“Š Data fields

Each record includes: baseCurrency, date, inverseRate, rate, scrapedAt, targetCurrency, timeLastUpdate, timeNextUpdate. All 8 field names come from a real production run, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
