ExchangeRate-API Alternatives

ExchangeRate-API is friendly, but its free plan skips HTTPS, refreshes rates once a day, and caps requests. Currency data is one of the most commoditized API categories โ€” these ExchangeRate-API alternatives are free, several are keyless, and one is run by a central-bank data feed.

โšก Quick answer: Frankfurter: keyless, ECB-sourced, the indie default. Fawaz Currency API when you need hundreds of pairs including crypto, also with no key.

The original: ExchangeRate-API

Simple, reliable currency conversion rates with a painless free key.
