💵 Open Exchange Rates Scraper
🚀 Export daily FX rates for 166 currencies in seconds. Pull live spot rates and inverse rates against any base currency, refreshed daily. No API key, no registration, no per-call billing.
The Open Exchange Rates Scraper queries the public ExchangeRate open feed, an open, no-auth alternative to subscription FX providers. It returns 9 structured fields per record, including the base currency, target currency, rate, inverse rate, last-update timestamp (UTC and Unix), next-update timestamp (UTC and Unix), and the scrape timestamp.
The catalog covers 166 currencies including USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, CNY, CHF, AUD, CAD, plus most G20 currencies, frontier-market fiat, and select stable currencies. That dwarfs the 30 currencies offered by the ECB-derived Frankfurter feed and includes non-EU centric markets that European reference series often omit. This Actor returns one record per quote currency, 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, crypto-adjacent products, remittance startups | Spot-rate lookups, multi-currency dashboards, FX risk reports, base-currency conversion in checkouts, emerging-market price feeds, frontier-currency analytics |
📋 What the Open Exchange Rates Scraper does
A single lookup workflow with full control over the base and targets:
- 💵 166 currencies. Pull spot rates against any base currency in the catalog.
- 🎯 Target filter. Restrict the output to only the ISO codes you care about.
- 🔁 Inverse rate. Each record also exposes the reverse rate (1/rate) so you can convert either direction without recompute.
- 📅 Update windows. Both last-update and next-update timestamps are returned in UTC ISO 8601 and Unix epoch.
Each record bundles the base currency, target currency, the numeric rate, the inverse rate, the feed's last-update and next-update timestamps, and the scrape timestamp.
💡 Why it matters: the most popular open FX feeds are European (ECB, Frankfurter) and cap out at 30-32 currencies. Anyone running an e-commerce checkout in Latin America, remittance to Africa, or a dashboard covering Asia-Pacific frontier markets needs broader coverage. This Actor delivers it without a paid API tier.
📊 Data fields
Each record includes: baseCurrency, inverseRate, lastUpdateUnix, lastUpdateUtc, nextUpdateUnix, nextUpdateUtc, rate, scrapedAt, targetCurrency. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
