Time series of exchange rates between ECB reference currencies for any base: daily (up to 10 years a call), monthly averages or annual averages (up to 30 years), since 1999.

Every response includes credits_used: the credits this call cost.

Parameters

`base`	string	Base currency (default EUR). Example: `USD`
`symbols`required	string	Currencies, comma-separated (up to 30). Example: `EUR,GBP`
`start_date`required	string	First date (YYYY-MM-DD). Example: `2024-01-01`
`end_date`	string	Last date (YYYY-MM-DD, default today). Example: `2024-03-31`
`frequency`	daily \| monthly \| annual	`daily` (default), `monthly` or `annual` averages.

Every endpoint also takes fresh, raw, fields (see lean responses and caching).

Example

curl "https://api.api.sh/fx/v1/history?symbols=EUR%2CGBP&start_date=2024-01-01" \
  -H "x-api-key: $APISH_KEY"

import os, requests

res = requests.get(
    "https://api.api.sh/fx/v1/history",
    params={"symbols": "EUR,GBP", "start_date": "2024-01-01"},
    headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["APISH_KEY"]},
    timeout=120,
)
res.raise_for_status()
data = res.json()

const url = new URL("https://api.api.sh/fx/v1/history");
url.searchParams.set("symbols", "EUR,GBP");
url.searchParams.set("start_date", "2024-01-01");

const res = await fetch(url, { headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.APISH_KEY } });
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);
const data = await res.json();

Response

A JSON object with the fields described above, plus raw (the source's own data), cached, fetched_at and credits_used. Errors return {"success": false, "error": "…"} with the HTTP status (see errors). A lookup that ran but found nothing (404) costs the price above; refused calls and errors on our side are free (what's charged).

The fastest way to see the full response is the playground: it runs this endpoint with your account and shows the exact JSON.
