Dear @fawazahmed0 ,

You have done a fantastic job with the project. As you can see the root directory is increasing everyday with the date. Is there any plan for a refactoring?

Suggestion could be:
/{year}/{month}/{day}/currencies/{from_currency}/{to_currency}.json
This is more manageable as directory structuring.

However the bigger challenge is to provide backward compatibility with current directory pattern to support currently by application! Possibly by a new API version?

What are you thoughts around this?

Best Regards.

A list of all the possible currencies this service has from which it can convert from and to would be really helpful.

there is no BYN currency here

BYN is a new code of Belarussia Ruble. There is only old code (BYR) which is not used for about 5 years and has wrong exchange rates in this repo.

This API have multiple fallback urls:

Fallback URL:

https://currency-api.pages.dev/{apiVersion}/{endpoint}

Pseudo code:
For example, if you want to fetch eur rate:

Fetch https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@fawazahmed0/currency-api@latest/v1/currencies/eur.min.json
If above url fails, then try fetching https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@fawazahmed0/currency-api@latest/v1/currencies/eur.json
If above url fails, then try fetching https://currency-api.pages.dev/v1/currencies/eur.min.json
If above url fails, then try fetching https://currency-api.pages.dev/v1/currencies/eur.json

Is it possible to add gold gram to currency-api?

Currently I see, date "2022-06-22" of below link
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/fawazahmed0/currency-api@1/latest/currencies/eur.json

and date "2022-06-23" of below link
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/fawazahmed0/currency-api@1/latest/currencies/eur/jpy.json

I cleared browser cache, also tried to make eur.json?d=123 . But date of above link is lagging 1 day.

Steps to add new crypto currency in this API:

1. Go Here
2. In topCryptoCurrency variable, add your crypto symbol.
3. Commit & Create a PR.

1 USD = 23.012,50 VND not 6263

Sometimes I get jsons with the wrong date on the "latest" request.
Today is 2022-02-19

Example:

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/fawazahmed0/currency-api@1/latest/currencies/cny.json

console.log on the project showing:

{
  "date": "2022-02-18",               <--- ❌ -1 day
  "cny": {
          "1inch": 0.094996,
          "ada": 0.154334,
          "aed": 0.579573,
          ...
          "zwl": 50.807804
          }
}

Also I tried to get xxx.min.json instead of xxx.json

If we open URL https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/fawazahmed0/currency-api@1/latest/currencies/rub.min.json everything is okay

date: "2022-02-19"               <--- ✔️
...

But when I console.log it on my project it shows

date: "2022-02-17"               <--- ❌ -2 days ??
...

Can you tell me what the problem is?

I'm trying to get the difference of exchange rates between the last two days - latest and (today - 1) day.
So this is the problem for me.

How can I get a course not wholesale but retail rate?

What is the source of your exchange rates? location / company
What time are the rates updated daily?

I am interested in using the rates in a travel app.
I had things working in SwiftUI until the date was added to the JSON file, now I'm stuck.

Assuming today is 25th December, the following URL fails:

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/fawazahmed0/currency-api@1/2021-12-25/currencies/gbp/usd.json

Package size exceeded the configured limit of 50 MB. Try https://github.com/fawazahmed0/currency-api/tree/1/2021-12-25/currencies/gbp/usd.json instead.*:

However, the below works, while still returning data for 2021-12-25
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/fawazahmed0/currency-api@1/latest/currencies/gbp/usd.json

Getting the previous date's data also works:
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/fawazahmed0/currency-api@1/2021-12-24/currencies/gbp/usd.json

Hi, first of all I'd like to thank you for the work !

Using your api to retrieve historical exchange rate I came across an http 403 error calling on
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/fawazahmed0/currency-api@1/2021-09-14/currencies/eur.min.json

I've found that there is no repo for 2021-09-14 in your project.
In fact /2021-09-15 return 2021-09-14 data and no ones for 2021-09-15

Any chance you will fix that ?

Something went wrong with currency conversion

    "eur": {

        "bgn": 0.000173,
        "bhd": 0.000039,
...
}

Add get param to the url, to get new uncached data, adding a UTC date in param is best thing to do, as rates are updated at UTC 00:00 daily, this will make sure you get the fresh daily updated currencies

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@fawazahmed0/currency-api@latest/v1/currencies.json?d=2024-03-06

programatically done:

const UTCDateStr = new Date().toISOString().substring(0,10)
const avoidCache = '?d='+UTCDateStr

jsdelivr caches the git repo , after someone requests the url through jsdelivr.

So curl all the urls for caching and then delete the date from git repo and run BFG cleanerto reduce git repo size, to avoid burden on github

or by adding date tag, we can access previous commits of same folder, without having to make datewise folder, but this will cause api design to change for accessing historical data

need to have CI partial clone code in actions to support cmd/pwsh
For now using mac-os

Hi, I really appreciate everything you've done. This project has been very useful to me,

But I have a question, i want to know how to get the exchange rate for US dollars against all currencies..

I did not find the corresponding API in the description.

Example : https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/fawazahmed0/currency-api@1/latest/currencies/usd.json , I just need the reverse result of what this sample API returns.

I am looking forward to your reply, and thank you again for everything.

Hello,
I did an application a month ago and I use the API with this url : https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/fawazahmed0/currency-api@1/latest/currencies/
Now it is sending me an error that I don't understand : "Package size exceeded the configured limit of 50 MB. Try https://github.com/fawazahmed0/currency-api/tree/1/latest/currencies/ instead."

Is it going to be fixed?

Thank you for your response.

Hi,
I use your very nice API for a Discord.js bot, it is very simple to use, even if it would be prettier if the JSON format of the conversion URL (https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/fawazahmed0/currency-api@1/latest/currencies/eur/jpy.json for example) response looked like :
{ "date": "2021-06-22", "change": { "currency " : "jpy", "amount" : "131.418702"} }
I think it would be more useful; if you want this from me, I can contribute by sending you a PR
Thank you for your work !

Hello 👋🏻
Asking the question in the title, if it is possible to be answered. If not then it's also fine. 😁

I wanted to know, from which site/location did you pull all your currency data from? This is just to improve the validity of the data presented to me.

I found that your currscript.js does indicate that you use CoinMarketCap as your data source. Is this perhaps correct?

Hi

Firstly, Thanks for your job

I would know if it's possible that you add some currencies:
VET
ONE
EGLD
CHZ
GRT
1INCH
INJ
ENJ
KSM

Thank you :)

Regards

Please add Shiba Inu

estimation + 50min + 90mins

Incredibly amazing project, thank you. The situation around forex rate apis is frankly ridiculous. You built exactly what I imagined should exist. Kudos.

I'd mention that bing and google are the sources and that the data updates daily in the readme (just to make it obvious).

No it's possible that this system will break in the future for some reason. Could you add a way to find out when is the latest data from? I could then do something like if latest.date - now > 50 days { show warning to user }.

Thanks again!

npm support(max tar.gz package size 200mb):
jsdelivr (doesn't work if package size > 100mb)
unpkg.com (this works fine)
cdnjs (not great, they store package in their repo)

cloudflare pages (20k files,25mb/file size limit) (not great, 20k files limit)

Hi, thanks for this project, it's fantastic :-).

I just wanted to ask whether you'd be willing to add monero to the list of supported currencies?

estimating: 90mins
Time required; 60mins

add support for all cryptos in currency-api (need to add all crypto names in json, to avoid issues)
add script in currapi to delete the days folders automatically, everyday, & also clean removing from github repo, using bfg-cleaner
https://rtyley.github.io/bfg-repo-cleaner/

do this before gh marks your account for heavy usage, as they did with opengapps (see other repo file sizes, to avoid using more space < 5gb)

2021-09-14 seems to be skipped. Is it possible to patch it now?

When is the currency data queried each day? Is the data queried at the same time each day? If not, is there a way to get the timestamp that each conversion was measured when querying rates?

Conversion rates change throughout the day and I'd like to be able to advertise a timestamp when the data was polled.

Data for May 1 seems to be missing for both the main and fallback URLs. Is it possible to patch?

Hi,

For now, I only know of 3 missing dates/ranges:

• anytime before 2020-11-22
• 2021-09-14
• 2022-05-01

Would it make sense to have a json file that automatically lists the missing dates? This would enable clients to programmatically know about and handle missing days rather than relying on heuristics.

few currencies have wrong historical data, due to bug in code, refer closed issues to know which ones were wrong

Hi Ramy,

As I have understood on same,

you need to get the currency details from the shared API endpoints and after getting the data currencies should be visible in sorted format into the application and the end-user can also download the result as required into the CSV/ Excel format.
If I am correct on the same then please reply to me or provide me guidance to understand if I am on the wrong path.
