Currency Exchange Rates: Live & History for 160+ Currencies

Get exchange rates as clean rows, ready for your app, spreadsheet or database. Two modes in one tool: live rates for 160+ world currencies (one row per currency pair), and daily historical rates back to 1999 for 30 major currencies, straight from European Central Bank reference data.

Built for pricing tools, invoicing, e-commerce, dashboards, accounting and backtesting. Pick your base currencies (USD, EUR, KES, INR, anything), optionally pick targets, and get every pair as its own row. No signup and no API key.

What you get for each currency pair

• base and target: the 3 letter currency codes
• rate: how much 1 unit of the base is worth in the target currency
• inverseRate: the reverse conversion, precomputed
• date: the day the rate applies to
• source: where the rate comes from (Open ER API for live, ECB for history)

Example output

{
  "base": "USD",
  "target": "KES",
  "rate": 129.28,
  "inverseRate": 0.0077351,
  "date": "2026-07-14",
  "source": "open.er-api.com",
  "valid": true
}

Live rates or history?

• Live rates: 160+ currencies, refreshed daily. Every world currency you are likely to need, from EUR and JPY to KES, NGN, VND and PKR.
• Historical daily rates: European Central Bank reference rates, every banking day back to January 1999, for 30 major currencies. One run can pull a full decade of EUR/USD daily rates for backtesting or reporting.

Pricing

$0.001 per rate row. Unsupported currency codes are free, and the first 2 rows of every run are free. A full live snapshot of one base against all 166 currencies costs about $0.17; ten years of daily USD to EUR history (about 2,500 rows) costs about $2.50. Commercial exchange rate APIs start at $10 to $50 per month for the same data.

Frequently asked questions

How fresh are the live rates? They update once a day, which is what most billing, invoicing and reporting needs. This tool is not a real time trading feed.

Why does history cover fewer currencies? Historical rates come from the European Central Bank, which publishes daily reference rates for 30 major currencies. Live rates cover 160+.

Are these the rates my bank will give me? These are mid-market reference rates, the same kind shown by Google or XE. Banks and card networks add their own spread on top.

Where does the data come from? Live rates from the Open ER API public feed, historical rates from European Central Bank reference data via frankfurter.dev. Both are public, reputable sources.
