Why exchangerate.dev

Fast and always fresh

Live on weekends

Many FX APIs freeze at Friday's fix. exchangerate.dev keeps updating through the weekend, about every 60 seconds.

Responses in about 20ms

Each request is processed in roughly 20ms server-side. Frankfurter-compatible params let you swap in without rewriting your client.

Source-labeled on every response

Every rate ships with its source, market_session, and timestamp, so you know if it's a live quote or a daily fix.
