What does Unirateapi do?

Unirateapi is a currency data API built for developers who need reliable exchange rates, historical data, and precious metals prices without the hassle. It covers 593 currencies — 170+ fiat currencies and 420+ cryptocurrencies — plus gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. The API returns data in JSON, XML, CSV, or JSONP, so you can plug it into almost any stack. A free tier gives you 200 requests per day, which is enough for testing and small projects.

The API is straightforward REST. Hit the /api/rates endpoint with your API key and a base currency, and you get back live rates for all supported currencies. There are dedicated endpoints for converting amounts, pulling historical rates for any date since 1999, and querying time series over up to five years. The precious metals endpoint (Pro tier) serves LBMA benchmark prices with 57 years of history. Rates update every 15 minutes, and the average response time is under 100ms. Unirateapi also includes EU VAT rates and a currency converter widget for embedding on websites.

This tool is for developers building financial features — think e-commerce checkout pages that show prices in local currency, fintech apps that need historical rates for reporting, or crypto dashboards that display real-time prices. It's also useful for backtesting trading strategies with historical forex data. The free tier makes it easy to start, and the Pro tier at $9/month handles production workloads with 25,000 daily requests and priority support.
