💱 Frankfurter FX Rates Scraper

🚀 Export ECB-derived foreign-exchange rates in seconds. Pull latest, historical, and time-series rates for 30+ currencies in one run. No API key, no registration, no per-call billing.

The Frankfurter FX Rates Scraper queries the Frankfurter foreign-exchange feed, which derives from European Central Bank reference rates, and returns 9 fields per record, including mode, date, base, quote, rate, amount, ISO currency code, full currency name, and the scrape timestamp. The underlying dataset is one of the most widely cited open FX references and is the default backbone for finance dashboards, accounting tools, and travel apps.

The catalog covers 30 currencies including EUR, USD, GBP, JPY, CNY, and most G20 currencies, with daily rates going back to 1999. This Actor returns latest spot rates, a single historical date, a full time series, or the supported currency list in one run, downloadable as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML.

🎯 Target Audience	💡 Primary Use Cases
Forex analysts, fintech engineers, accounting and ERP teams, travel and booking platforms, e-commerce checkout, treasury teams	Spot-rate lookups, monthly accounting close, historical reporting, base-currency conversion in checkouts, FX risk dashboards

📋 What the Frankfurter FX Rates Scraper does

Four lookup workflows in a single run:

• 💱 Latest spot rates. Pull today's reference rates against your chosen base currency.
• 📅 Historical date. Pull rates for a single past date in YYYY-MM-DD format.
• 📈 Time series. Pull a range of daily rates between two dates.
• 📚 Supported currencies. Pull the full list of supported ISO codes with full currency names.

Each record includes the mode used, the date the rate is valid for, the base currency, the quote currency, the numeric rate, the source amount (typically 1), the ISO currency code, the human-friendly currency name, and the scrape timestamp.

💡 Why it matters: reliable FX rates underpin accounting close, treasury risk, e-commerce checkouts, travel pricing, and analytics. Building your own rate feed means handling weekends, holidays, missing publishing days, and ECB rounding rules. This Actor skips all of that and refreshes on every run.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: amount, base, currencyCode, currencyName, date, mode, quote, rate, scrapedAt. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
