Node.js / TypeScript client
A dedicated zero-dependency npm package wraps these endpoints — beac-exchange-rate:

const pair = await getRate('USD', 'XAF', { 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 Bank of Central African States (BEAC) rate?
A market rate is a moving target; the rate Bank of Central African States (BEAC) publishes is a fixed, citable figure that stays put once printed — which is why invoicing, customs, audit evidence, and statutory accounting in Central Africa (CEMAC) 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 XAF) and marks it "derived": true — published and computed values are never silently mixed.
