No API key needed for the latest published table.
What these rates are
The numbers US Federal Reserve itself publishes — fixed once published, carrying the institution's own date. Tax filings, customs valuations, invoicing rules and statutory accounts generally require this published rate, not a live market rate; the two routinely differ by a percent or more.
For live mid-market rates, use allratestoday.
For all 100+ sources in one package, use
allratestoday-central-bank.

Three things that will bite you
rate_dateis the answer, not the date you asked for. US Federal Reserve publishes on business days only, so a weekend request returns the last published table. Record the date that comes back — it is the audit trail.derived: Truemeans the pair was cross-computed within US Federal Reserve's own table because it does not publish that pair directly. Rates are never crossed between institutions.- Zero dependencies — standard library only, so it adds nothing to your lockfile.
