About National Bank of Ethiopia

The National Bank of Ethiopia publishes daily indicative birr exchange rates — a weighted average of banks' actual foreign-exchange transactions from the previous day, plus buying and selling quotes, for 19 currencies. The series in this form starts in late September 2024, shortly after Ethiopia floated the birr in July 2024 — one of the most consequential African currency reforms of the decade.

const pair = await getRate('USD', 'ETB', { apiKey: 'art_live_...' });
console.log(pair.rate, pair.rate_date);

Why use the official National Bank of Ethiopia rate?

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

Endpoints

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