About

FXRatesAPI is a currency conversion and exchange rates API that provides programmatic access to latest, historical, timeseries, and conversion data. The service exposes endpoints for supported currencies, latest rates, historical rates, conversion, and timeseries data, with responses available in JSON, XML, or TSV.

The pricing page lists a perpetual Free plan with 1,000 requests per month, 60 requests per hour, and access to 3 endpoints: latest, currencies, historical, conversion, and timeseries are documented on the page, with the free plan explicitly including latest, currencies, historical, conversion, and timeseries features. It also includes hourly updates, SSL encryption, and all base currencies. The service is suitable for developers building financial applications that need exchange-rate data with a capped recurring allowance.

This free tier is a capped monthly plan with no credit card mentioned, so it has real ongoing value rather than a short trial. Compared with the $10 Standard plan, it keeps the core API access but limits usage to 1,000 requests/month and 60 requests/hour, so it feels like roughly 30% of Standard’s practical value — about $3/month.
