REST API
The same rates in your own systems
The table above is one endpoint polled from a web page. Your key calls it directly and gets JSON back.
Live rates
Up to 10 pairs in one call, each with its own timestamp. Poll every minute for a dashboard or every second at checkout, cache the result and serve your users from the cache.
Live rates docsCurrency conversion
Convert an amount between any two currencies at the current rate, for quotes, invoices and checkout totals.
Currency conversion APICoverage and history
150+ currencies, precious metals and 50+ cryptocurrencies, with daily, minute and tick history on the same key and the same field names.

Three steps from this page to your first response.
- Start a trial, verify your email and copy the API key from your dashboard.
- Call the live endpoint with the pairs you need, up to 10 per request.
- Cache the response and read from the cache, so your page load never waits on an API call.
