Node.js / TypeScript client

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

npm · bank-of-tanzania-exchange-rate GitHub · AllRates-Today/bank-of-tanzania-exchange-rate

npm install bank-of-tanzania-exchange-rate

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

const pair = await getRate('USD', 'TZS', { 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.

Full reference — installation, all four functions, response shapes, error codes: bank-of-tanzania-exchange-rate documentation.

Why use the official Bank of Tanzania rate?

When an auditor or tax office in Tanzania asks which rate you used, "the TZS mid-market rate at 14:32" is not an answer — the official rate published by Bank of Tanzania 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 TZS) and marks it "derived": true — published and computed values are never silently mixed.

Endpoints

GET /api/v1/central-bank/botz/latest — latest table or single pair (all plans)
GET /api/v1/central-bank/botz/{YYYY-MM-DD} — the table for any date (paid plans)
GET /api/v1/central-bank/botz/history — time series, up to 5,000 rows (paid plans)
GET /api/v1/central-bank/botz/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.

Is this the official published table?

Yes — the rows are Bank of Tanzania's published figures, untouched, with the original publication date attached. Pairs the bank didn't print are computed and flagged derived.
