Node.js / TypeScript client

A dedicated zero-dependency npm package wraps these endpoints — hkma-exchange-rate:

npm install hkma-exchange-rate

import { getRate } from 'hkma-exchange-rate';

const pair = await getRate('USD', 'HKD', { 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 Hong Kong Monetary Authority rate?

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

Endpoints

• GET /api/v1/central-bank/hkma/latest — latest table or single pair (all plans)
• GET /api/v1/central-bank/hkma/{YYYY-MM-DD} — the table for any date (paid plans)
• GET /api/v1/central-bank/hkma/history — time series, up to 5,000 rows (paid plans)
• GET /api/v1/central-bank/hkma/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 a month, so caching a published table locally makes a small quota go far.

Frequently asked questions

Is there an API for Hong Kong Monetary Authority exchange rates?

Yes — this one. Official monthly HKD rates as clean JSON, latest table on every plan including free.

How often does Hong Kong Monetary Authority update its rates?

New tables land monthly — one official table per calendar month, published ahead of the month it applies to — the API picks each one up shortly after Hong Kong Monetary Authority publishes it (latest: 2026-08-31).

Is this the official published table?

Yes — the rows are Hong Kong Monetary Authority's published figures, untouched, with the original publication date attached. Pairs the bank didn't print are computed and flagged derived.
