Performance

  • Not measured
    Fast (p50)

    Median latency 453 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 1000 ms. Need at least 5 samples.

  • Not measured
    Consistent (p95)

    95th percentile 453 ms over 1 samples in 7 days. The bar is 3000 ms. Need at least 20 samples.

  • Not measured
    Reliable (uptime)

    1 of 1 attempts returned a tool list in 30 days (100%). The bar is 99%. Need at least 30 samples.

  • Not measured
    Stable tool list

    Fewer than two successful probes in 30 days, so tool-list stability is not measured.

Access

  • Pass
    Open access

    tools/list succeeded with no credential, and the record declares none.

  • Not measured
    Standard auth

    Auth is not required, so the OAuth metadata check does not apply.

Capabilities

Tools 9

convert

Convert an amount from one currency to another at the current rate. Indicative developer-grade reference rates (live market data + public reference rates), not for settlement or trading.

Discovered
get_official_rate

Get the exchange rate a government authority published for a date (tax, customs, central bank), with the period it is valid for. These are the published values, not market rates. Every plan gets the rate valid today; a past date needs a paid plan. Pairs the authority does not publish are refused.

Discovered
get_range

Get a daily time-series of exchange rates over a date range (business days). Capped at 366 rows per call; when has_more is true, pass next_cursor as the cursor parameter to fetch the next page. Indicative developer-grade reference rates (live market data + public reference rates), not for settlement or trading.

Discovered
get_rate

Get the current (or, with date, historical) exchange rate from one currency to another. Indicative developer-grade reference rates (live market data + public reference rates), not for settlement or trading. Rates update ~60s for real-time currencies through the trading week when the live feed is active; the source field on every response is the authoritative freshness indicator (live | ecb_daily | market_daily); rates fall back to official daily reference data during market closures or data-source unavailability. market_session on every response indicates open, weekend, or interbank_closed.

Discovered
get_usd_index

Get the latest independently calculated USD index. dxy-reconstructed uses the published six-currency basket formula but is not the official index. usd-strength is the versioned exchangerate.dev equal-weight 13-currency index, with 2026-01-02 = 100. Both require a complete, time-aligned basket.

Discovered
list_currencies

List all supported currencies with name, decimal precision, minor units, and whether the pair is derived (triangulated). Use this before other tools to discover valid currency codes.

Discovered
list_official_rate_tables

List the countries and rate types with government-published exchange rates (for example IDN tax, GBR customs, USA government-reporting). Country codes are ISO 3166-1 alpha-3; use them with get_official_rate.

Discovered
search_docs

Search the exchangerate.dev FAQ corpus via BM25. Returns the top-K matching questions and answers with relevance scores. Use before answering how-to / pricing / data-sourcing questions so you cite the canonical text instead of guessing from training data.

Discovered
start_checkout

Open a billing URL for an explicitly selected eligible plan. After human confirmation, a Free account without a subscription receives a one-hour Stripe Checkout URL; an existing subscriber receives Stripe billing management instead. Plans not offered to the account are refused. Cancellation creates nothing and account identifiers are never accepted from the model.
