Which currencies are covered?

Over 190 fiat currencies and 90+ cryptocurrencies, with conversion between any pair.

Where do the rates come from?

Multiple aggregated sources: central banks (ECB, Fed, BoE, BoJ), markets (TradingView, Google Finance) and exchanges (Binance, CoinGecko).

Is there a free tier?

Yes, a free sandbox to test and integrate the API: 300 test requests (one-time, lifetime) on the USD/EUR and USD/BTC pairs, no credit card required. For production and all currencies, upgrade to a paid plan ($2.99 / $9.99 / $19.99 per month).

Do you offer historical data?

Yes, the /historical endpoint returns past rates for analytics and reporting.

Security: will CurrencyRest ask me to run a command?

Never. CurrencyRest will never ask you to run a terminal command or “prove you are human” by pasting code. If you see such a prompt (a fake CAPTCHA, “BotGuard”…), it comes from a browser extension or adware in your browser, not from our site — do not paste anything and disable your extensions.
