Bank of Canada API

healthy 3,789 Subscribers

Live official central-bank data from the Bank of Canada's public Valet API — no key, nothing cached. The Bank of Canada is the only major central bank with a fully open data API, and this exposes the three things markets watch. The fx endpoint returns the official daily exchange rates for 24 currencies against the Canadian dollar — USD/CAD, EUR/CAD, GBP/CAD, JPY/CAD and more — each in both directions (Canadian dollars per unit and units per Canadian dollar) with the observation date; these are the Bank's official published reference rates, not a retail aggregator (USD/CAD resolves to about 1.39). The rates endpoint returns the Bank's policy interest rate — the overnight target that sets the price of money in Canada — plus CORRA, the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average benchmark, with recent history so you can see the last moves. The yields endpoint returns the Government of Canada benchmark bond-yield curve (2, 3, 5, 7, 10-year and long) with the 10y-2y spread. This is the official-rates layer for any forex, fixed-income, treasury, research or macro app that needs authoritative Canadian central-bank numbers. Live from the Bank of Canada, nothing stored. Distinct from ECB-based FX and US-Treasury yield APIs — this is the Bank of Canada's own data. 4 endpoints.

Bank Negara Malaysia FX & Rates API — oanor API marketplace

Bank Negara Malaysia FX & Rates API

Official central-bank data from Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM), the central bank of Malaysia, all quoted around the Malaysian Ringgit (MYR). Read every BNM foreign-exchange reference rate with its buying, selling and middle quote — each row carries the BNM quoting unit (the Japanese Yen, for example, is quoted per 100) plus a normalized myr_per_unit, so conversions are never ambiguous — look up a single currency, or convert any amount between two quoted currencies or MYR using the central-bank cross rate. Beyond FX, the same surface exposes the Kijang Emas gold bullion coin buying and selling prices (one, half and quarter ounce), the current Overnight Policy Rate set by the Monetary Policy Committee, and the published base rate, base lending rate and indicative effective lending rate for every licensed Malaysian bank. Rates always resolve to the latest published business-day fixing. Distinct from our other central-bank FX feeds: this bundles Malaysian FX, gold and policy/lending rates in one API.

Central Bank of Myanmar FX API — oanor API marketplace

Central Bank of Myanmar FX API

Official daily foreign-exchange reference rates published by the Central Bank of Myanmar (CBM), quoted against the Myanmar Kyat (MMK). Read every CBM reference rate in one call, look up a single currency, or convert any amount between two quoted currencies (or MMK) using the central-bank cross rate. CBM follows a per-100 quoting convention for its low-value currencies — Indonesian Rupiah, Japanese Yen, Cambodian Riel, South Korean Won, Lao Kip and Vietnamese Dong are published per 100 units while every other currency is per 1 — so each rate carries both the raw quoted_rate and quoted_per plus a normalized mmk_per_unit, making conversions unambiguous. Rates always resolve to the latest published business-day fixing. Distinct from our other central-bank feeds (Bosnia, North Macedonia, Romania, Moldova, Nepal): this surfaces the Myanmar Kyat reference table specifically.
