About Banco Central de Cuba

Banco Central de Cuba publishes the official peso rates daily for 13 currencies through its own public API, in three segments: the official rate for the state sector (Segment I, 24 pesos per dollar), the population rate (Segment II, 120 pesos) and the special rate introduced in December 2025 (Segment III), which the bank sets each day and which moved from 410 to 681 pesos per dollar in its first nine months. The API serves all three as rate types official, public and special, so a query never mixes them; our archive runs from 19 December 2025, the first day of the bank's published series.

One request for the pair you need — USD to CUP at the official Banco Central de Cuba rate:

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

What comes back — a real response built from the table in force (2026-10-27):

Node.js / TypeScript client

A dedicated zero-dependency npm package wraps these endpoints — banco-central-de-cuba-exchange-rate:

npm install banco-central-de-cuba-exchange-rate
import { getRate } from 'banco-central-de-cuba-exchange-rate';

const pair = await getRate('USD', 'CUP', { 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 Central de Cuba rate?

A market rate is a moving target; the rate Banco Central de Cuba publishes is a fixed, citable figure that stays put once printed — which is why invoicing, customs, audit evidence, and statutory accounting in Cuba lean on it rather than on a live feed. Every response from this API carries the bank's own rate_date, and on days with no publication you get the most recent published table — the one compliance rules tell you to apply.

If a pair isn't in the bank's published table, the API computes it from that table (inverse or cross via CUP) and marks it "derived": true — published and computed values are never silently mixed.

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.
