summary: Get queryable history coverage
description: 'Returns the first and last eligible observation dates at which /rates with the same base, quotes and providers returns at least one record. Defaults to the EUR-based daily blended feed. Supplying providers selects their history, including non-daily observations. Null bounds mean no queryable pair. Bounds are request dates, not necessarily returned record dates: a carried quote can predate the bridge required to convert its base. Interior gaps are possible. Bounds do not extend beyond stored observation dates merely because carry-forward can answer later requests. With several quotes, at least one must be available. Only base, quotes and providers are accepted. Use start_date from this endpoint for a headline describing default rate history; provider and currency publication dates are not pair coverage.'

ServiceUnavailable:
description: 'The request deadline expired before the response could be computed, or the worker process is already running its limit of concurrent live daily-range computes (any daily range served live: with providers, with expand=providers, or before the precomputed blend is ready). In the second case a Retry-After header says how many seconds to wait before retrying. Otherwise retry with a narrower request: filter with quotes, aggregate with group, or split the range into shorter requests.'
