Terms of use

Last updated 24 October 2026

The Rates API (theratesapi.com) is a free service that republishes the euro foreign exchange reference rates published by the European Central Bank and Banca d'Italia, together with cross-rates calculated from them. By using the site or the API, you agree to these terms.

No warranty

The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind. We don't promise that it will be available, uninterrupted, accurate or free of errors.

The rates are for information only

The ECB publishes its reference rates for information purposes only, and Banca d'Italia's rates are indicative and not a financial benchmark. They are not the rates offered by banks or payment providers, and you shouldn't rely on them for trading, settlement or other transactions. Rates for bases other than the euro are calculated by us and rounded to 6 decimal places.

Fair use

There is no key or signup. Please cache responses and don't request more often than you need. We may limit or block traffic that harms the service for others.

Changes to the service

We may change, suspend or discontinue the service, or change these terms, at any time. Changes to the terms take effect when they are posted on this page.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, the service or its data.
