About Central Bank of Barbados

The Barbados dollar is pegged at two to the US dollar, so the table is mostly about the cross rates — and the bank's archive runs back to 2010.

Why use the official Central Bank of Barbados rate?

A market rate is a moving target; the rate Central Bank of Barbados publishes is a fixed, citable figure that stays put once printed — which is why invoicing, customs, audit evidence, and statutory accounting in Barbados 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 BBD) 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.
