About Banco de Guatemala

The Banco de Guatemala calculates the tipo de cambio de referencia — the official quetzal/dollar reference rate Guatemalan law points to for tax, customs, and contract settlement — every calendar day, and alongside it publishes daily buy/sell quotations for about 25 other currencies against the dollar, with history back to 2004.

Quick start

One request for the pair you need — USD to GTQ at the official Banco de Guatemala rate:

curl "https://allratestoday.com/api/v1/central-bank/banguat/latest?source=USD&target=GTQ" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer art_live_your_key"

Or the bank's full published table:

curl "https://allratestoday.com/api/v1/central-bank/banguat/latest" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer art_live_your_key"

On paid plans, any historical date or a time series:

Node.js / TypeScript client

A dedicated zero-dependency npm package wraps these endpoints — banguat-exchange-rate:

npm install banguat-exchange-rate
import { getRate } from 'banguat-exchange-rate';

const pair = await getRate('USD', 'GTQ', { apiKey: 'art_live_...' });
console.log(pair.rate, pair.rate_date);

Zero dependencies, TypeScript types included, and it runs anywhere fetch exists — Node 18+, Bun, Deno, and edge runtimes.

Why use the official Banco de Guatemala rate?

When an auditor or tax office in Guatemala asks which rate you used, "the GTQ mid-market rate at 14:32" is not an answer — the official rate published by Banco de Guatemala for that date is. This API returns exactly those published figures, stamped with the bank's own rate_date; on weekends and holidays the most recent published table is returned, as compliance rules expect.

Pairs the bank doesn't print directly are resolved from its table (inverse or cross via GTQ) and explicitly flagged "derived": true — so what the bank printed and what was computed are never confused.

Endpoints

Full parameter reference in the API documentation. Every request counts toward your plan's monthly quota — rates change once per business day, so caching a published table locally makes a small quota go far.
