Exchange Rate & Currency Data Scraper

Get real-time and historical exchange rates for 160+ currencies powered by ECB data. Latest rates with auto failover, historical lookups, and time series analysis. No API key needed. For e-commerce, forex, and financial dashboards.

The dataset holds two row shapes depending on mode. latest and historical return one row per run with a nested rates object; timeSeries returns one flat row per date and currency (base, date, currency, rate). Billing is per row, so timeSeries costs more than the other two modes.

Use cases

• Convert multi-currency e-commerce revenue into one reporting currency
• Refresh product prices daily in international storefronts
• Backfill historical FX rates for accounting reconciliation
• Chart currency trends over a custom date range
• Add live FX conversion to invoices or dashboards

How to run it

In Apify Console — open the Actor, fill in the input form, click Start, then download the results from the Dataset tab.

With the JavaScript client

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('cloud9_ai/exchange-rate-scraper').call({
  "mode": "latest",
  "baseCurrency": "USD",
  "targetCurrencies": "EUR,JPY,GBP",
  "date": "2024-01-01",
  "startDate": "2024-01-01",
  "endDate": "2024-12-31"
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items);

With the Python client

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient('YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN')

run = client.actor('cloud9_ai/exchange-rate-scraper').call(run_input={
  "mode": "latest",
  "baseCurrency": "USD",
  "targetCurrencies": "EUR,JPY,GBP",
  "date": "2024-01-01",
  "startDate": "2024-01-01",

})

for item in client.dataset(run['defaultDatasetId']).iterate_items():
    print(item)

With the API — POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/cloud9_ai~exchange-rate-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN with the input JSON as the body.

Notes and limits

• No API key, account, or login is needed — just the input above.
• Requests are paced and failed requests are retried automatically, so runs stay inside the source's rate limits.
• Only publicly available data is collected. How you use the output is your responsibility, including the source's terms of use and any applicable data-protection law.
