FXRatesAPI Currencies API

openapi: 3.0.3
info:
  title: FXRates Convert Currencies API
  description: 'FXRatesAPI is a foreign exchange rates REST API serving real-time and historical currency exchange rates for 185+ fiat currencies plus major cryptocurrencies and precious metals. All endpoints return JSON over HTTPS from the base host https://api.fxratesapi.com. A limited tier is usable without an API key; a paid API key (passed as the api_key query parameter or an Authorization Bearer header) raises quotas, increases update frequency, and unlocks base-currency switching.


    Endpoint paths, methods, and parameters below are grounded in live probes of the API on 2026-07-12. Response schemas are modeled from the observed JSON payloads rather than a provider-published machine-readable schema, and only parameters confirmed during probing are asserted; additional optional parameters may exist.'
