One request for the pair you need — AUD to USD at the official Reserve Bank of Australia rate:

curl "https://allratestoday.com/api/v1/central-bank/rba/latest?source=AUD&target=USD" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer art_live_your_key"

What comes back — a real response built from the table in force (2026-10-27):

{
  "bank": "rba",
  "name": "Reserve Bank of Australia",
  "rate_date": "2026-10-27",
  "source": "AUD",
  "target": "USD",
  "rate": 0.7021,
  "rate_type": "reference",
  "derived": false,
  "method": "published",
  "age_days": 0,
  "stale": false,
  "cadence": "daily",
  "disclaimer": "Official rates as published by the named central bank. On weekends/holidays the most recent published rate_date is returned."
}

Or the bank's full published table:

curl "https://allratestoday.com/api/v1/central-bank/rba/latest" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer art_live_your_key"

  "name": "Reserve Bank of Australia",
  "rate_date": "2026-10-27",
  "age_days": 0,
  "stale": false,

Node.js / TypeScript client

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

npm install rba-exchange-rate
import { getRate } from 'rba-exchange-rate';

const pair = await getRate('AUD', 'USD', { 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 Reserve Bank of Australia rate?

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