About National Bank of Rwanda

The National Bank of Rwanda publishes daily official franc rates — an average (reference) rate with buying and selling quotes — for the major world and East African currencies. Kigali's rate matters well beyond Rwanda's borders: the franc corridor with Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda carries substantial regional trade, and the series reaches back to 2012.

Node.js / TypeScript client

A dedicated zero-dependency npm package wraps these endpoints — national-bank-of-rwanda-exchange-rate:

npm install national-bank-of-rwanda-exchange-rate

import { getRate } from 'national-bank-of-rwanda-exchange-rate';

const pair = await getRate('USD', 'RWF', { 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 National Bank of Rwanda rate?

When an auditor or tax office in Rwanda asks which rate you used, "the RWF mid-market rate at 14:32" is not an answer — the official rate published by National Bank of Rwanda 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.

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

Endpoints

• GET /api/v1/central-bank/bnrw/latest — latest table or single pair (all plans)
• GET /api/v1/central-bank/bnrw/{YYYY-MM-DD} — the table for any date (paid plans)
• GET /api/v1/central-bank/bnrw/history — time series, up to 5,000 rows (paid plans)
• GET /api/v1/central-bank/bnrw/availability — publication calendar: the dates the bank actually published (all plans)

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.
