About
CurrencyFreaks is a currency API that returns live exchange rates, historical data, and currency conversion for 166 fiat currencies, 876 cryptocurrencies and 4 precious metals. You authenticate with an API key and get clean JSON or XML back in one call, with no SDK to install or OAuth setup needed. Pass symbols to filter results or base to change the base currency on paid plans.
The free Developer plan gives 1,000 API calls a month with daily rate updates and USD as base currency. Paid plans start at $9.99 a month and unlock hourly, 10-minute or 60-second updates, any base currency, historical rates back to November 1984, time series and fluctuation endpoints, and IP-to-currency lookup. There is no daily or hourly throttle, only a monthly quota.
The service runs globally with 140 ms average latency and claims 100% uptime. It covers trading workflows, internal tools, app integrations and global pricing. An official MCP server exposes seven tools to Claude, Cursor and VS Code.
One API call returns every supported currency at once, or you can filter by symbol. Historical data goes back to 1984. No SDK, OAuth or sandbox environment needed. Free plan requires no credit card and gives 1,000 calls a month.
- Problem
- Building apps that need accurate, up-to-date exchange rates across many currencies requires integrating multiple data sources and managing API complexity.
- Solution
- CurrencyFreaks provides a single REST API endpoint that returns rates for all supported currencies in JSON or XML, with historical data back decades and no complex setup.
