Real-Time Currency Exchange Rates API

"This API allow you to get real-time currency exchange rates."

This Currency Exchange Rate API is a web-based service that provides real-time or historical exchange rates for various currencies. Developers use this API to integrate currency exchange rate information into their applications, websites, and other software systems.

In other words, This currency exchange rate API (Application Programming Interface) is a software interface that allows developers to retrieve real-time or historical exchange rates for currencies. This API can be used to integrate currency exchange functionality into various applications, such as financial applications, e-commerce platforms, and accounting software.

API Features

A currency exchange rate API is a software tool that provides access to real-time or historical exchange rates for currencies. These exchange rates are typically sourced from various financial institutions, such as banks and currency exchanges, and are made available through a web-based interface or a programming interface. The API can be used to perform real-time currency conversions, provide financial reporting, and support other business processes that require up-to-date currency exchange rate information.

API Base URL and Endpoints

The API Base URL serves as the foundation or root of the API's endpoints. It represents the common prefix shared by all API endpoints. An Endpoint URL represents a specific operation or resource provided by the API. It is appended to the API Base URL to form a complete URL for a particular API call.

API Request Method GET

This API use GET HTTP method to get data from our server. All API requests must be made over HTTPS ("S" stands for secure). Calls made over plain HTTP or without authentication key will not allowed.

Request Parameters

An API endpoint is a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) that is used to access a specific resource on a web server. API endpoints are the URLs that clients use to interact with a web API, and they typically consist of a base URL followed by a path that identifies a specific resource or action.

Response Format

API response format refers to the format in which data is returned from an API endpoint after a request is made. We use JSON format for API response data. JSON (JavaScript Object Notation): JSON is a lightweight data interchange format that is easy to read and write. It is widely used for API response data because it is easy to parse and manipulate in many programming languages.
