Fixer is a hosted JSON API providing current and historical foreign exchange rates and currency conversion for 170 world currencies, including Bitcoin, gold, and silver. The legacy open-source-era endpoint (api.fixer.io) was deprecated in 2018 in favor of a re-engineered API at data.fixer.io that requires a free or paid access key.
Use cases
- get latest exchange rates for 170 currencies
- convert an amount from one currency to another
- fetch historical end-of-day forex rates
- add currency conversion to an e-commerce checkout
- display multi-currency prices in an app
- track Bitcoin, gold, and silver rates
When to choose
- you need reliable, frequently updated exchange rate data without hosting your own data pipeline
- you want a simple JSON API that can be integrated in minutes
- your volume fits the free tier (under 1,000 requests/month, EUR base) or a paid plan
When to avoid
- you need more than 1,000 free requests per month or non-EUR base currencies without paying
- you require a fully self-hosted or open-source solution with no API key or quota
- you depend on the deprecated legacy api.fixer.io endpoint, which no longer works
