README

Currencyscoop provides a simple REST API with real-time and historical exchange rates for 168 world currencies. We deliver currency pairs and data in universally usable JSON format - compatible with any programming languages and any of your applications.

Our real-time and historical exchange rate data is retrieved from several major forex data providers, central banks and various commercial vendors in real-time, validated, processed and delivered in seconds within the market window.

By providing the most representative forex market value available (“midpoint” value) for every API request, our API powers currency converters, mobile applications, financial software components and back-office systems all around the world.

Central banks and currency traders define the rates at which they are willing to buy/sell a specific currency. The real-time mid-market rate is the midpoint between demand and supply at any point in time, making it the most accurate rate. The mid-market rate is the rate you will find on independent sources such as Yahoo Finance, Google Finance, Xignite and XE.

Please note that most commercial application add a margin to cover processing costs before rates are given to consumers.
