Before you pick one

Free exchange-rate APIs publish daily reference rates, not the rate a bank or card will charge. Show the date next to any converted amount.

Open an API’s page to see the exact request we send, the answer it gave, and how many of the last 30 days it was up. If it is marked CORS you can run the request from the page itself.
