About Fixer.io currency exchange rates

A lightweight FX-rate API with history back to 1999.

Fixer.io is a foreign-exchange rates API run by APILayer, the Vienna-based data-API provider. The service publishes rates for roughly 170 currencies, sourced from financial data providers and central banks (the European Central Bank is named on the product page). Latest, historical, time-series, fluctuation and convert endpoints all return the same JSON shape, with EUR as the default base on the free tier and arbitrary base currencies on paid plans. Historical rates reach back to January 1999, which covers the full euro era.

The reason to land Fixer.io in a warehouse is that an FX rate is only useful when it is joined to a line of business. A latest-rate call from your billing app gets you a number for that one charge, but the same rate also drives the export invoice booked an hour later, the supplier payout that leaves tomorrow, and the management report that consolidates the month next week. Pulled into one place and stored per day and per currency pair, Fixer rates become the single reference your e-commerce platform, your ERP, your payment processor and your boekhouding all read from, instead of each system holding its own slightly different number.

What your Fixer.io currency exchange rates data is for

What you get once Fixer.io currency exchange rates is connected.

FX rates that line up with the books

Daily Fixer rates per currency pair, joined to the invoice, order or payout they priced.

  • Multi-currency revenue restated at end-of-month closing rates per legal entity
  • FX gain and loss per customer, per supplier and per period from one rate source
  • Currency-pair fluctuation alongside the deal volume that flowed through it

Rate-driven automation

Let billing, payouts and alerts react to a single warehouse-stored rate.

  • New invoice in a foreign currency picks up the warehouse Fixer rate of the day
  • Outbound payout uses the locked rate from the day the supplier confirmed the order
  • Threshold alert fires when EUR/USD or another tracked pair moves more than X% in a day

AI workflows

Use stored Fixer history to model FX exposure and price scenarios.

  • Customer-cohort margin sensitivity to EUR/USD and EUR/GBP swings
  • Scenario pricing for a multi-currency quote against the last 12 months of rates
  • Outlier detection on book FX gains and losses against the warehouse rate

Custom apps on your data

Internal tools that read from one rate table instead of calling Fixer ad hoc.

  • Quote calculator that applies the locked rate of the day to a multi-currency proposal
  • FX-exposure dashboard for the CFO across receivables, payables and cash
  • Historical-rate lookup app for finance with audit trail per pair and date

Real business questions

Answers you will finally get.

Is the FX rate on the invoice the same as the rate finance closes the month with?

The Fixer daily rate per pair lands in the warehouse and is the same number the billing system, the ERP and the consolidation report all read from. Booking-day, payment-day and closing-day rates are kept side by side per pair, so the FX gain or loss on the books is traceable to a specific Fixer rate on a specific date instead of three slightly different numbers from three tools.

How big is our exposure to a swing in EUR/USD or EUR/GBP next month?

Net foreign-currency position per pair from open receivables, payables and cash, multiplied by the Fixer rate range over the last twelve months. The CFO sees a P&L sensitivity per pair instead of a back-of-envelope estimate, and the bucket that drives most of the exposure (one large export customer, a single foreign supplier) shows up by name.

Did the quoted price hold up when the invoice went out?

The Fixer rate captured at quote time sits next to the rate used when the invoice was issued, joined on the deal. Margin slippage from FX between quote and invoice surfaces per customer and per pair, so the commercial conversation about whether to lock rates earlier rests on a number from your own deal book instead of a finance hunch.

Value for everyone in the organisation

Where each function gets value.

For finance leaders

One Fixer rate table the ERP, the consolidation report and the bank reconciliation all read from. Month-end revaluation runs against rates with timestamps and an audit trail per pair, instead of a per-tool number that drifts. Realised and unrealised FX gain and loss split per customer, supplier and period from the same source.

For sales leaders

Quote calculators apply the locked Fixer rate of the day to a multi-currency proposal, so the price the customer sees matches the price the books expect. Account owners see margin slippage on past deals from FX between quote and invoice, instead of finding it weeks later in a P&L variance.

For operations

Outbound payouts pick the right rate for the day the order was confirmed, so supplier reconciliation lands on the agreed amount. Threshold alerts on tracked pairs fire when a daily move crosses a set band, so the team adjusts pricing or hedges before the next batch goes out.

Ideas

What you can automate with Fixer.io currency exchange rates.

Pair with Exact Online

Apply Fixer rates to Exact Online foreign-currency invoices

Each Exact Online invoice in a foreign currency picks up the Fixer rate of the booking day from the warehouse, and the rate is recorded on the invoice line. Month-end revaluation in Exact runs against the Fixer closing rate of the period, so realised and unrealised FX results are traceable to the same daily rate the billing tool used.

Pair with MS Dynamics 365 Business Central

Push Fixer rates into Business Central

The daily Fixer rate per currency pair posts into Business Central as the exchange-rate of the day, so AR and AP entries in foreign currency revalue against a single source. The closing rate at month-end consolidation is the same Fixer rate the warehouse stored, instead of a manually loaded sheet.

Pair with Salesforce

Quote in Salesforce against the rate of the day

When a multi-currency opportunity is quoted in Salesforce, the locked Fixer rate of the day is written onto the opportunity and the quote line. The handover to invoicing carries that rate forward, so margin slippage between quote and invoice from FX is visible per deal instead of buried in a finance variance.

Pair with HubSpot

Show locked FX rates on the HubSpot deal

The Fixer rate captured at quote time pushes onto the HubSpot deal as a property and timeline event. Account owners see the rate behind the deal value, and the deal that closed on a stale rate is flagged for re-quote before invoicing instead of after the books catch it.

Pair with Slack

Alert on currency-pair moves in Slack

When a tracked pair like EUR/USD or EUR/GBP moves more than a set percentage on a single Fixer day, a finance Slack channel gets the move with the open exposure and the deals priced against the previous rate attached. The team adjusts a quote or pulls forward a payout in minutes instead of waiting for the next FX review.

Pair with monday.com

Track FX-revaluation tasks in monday.com

Each currency pair with a material month-end revaluation creates a board item in monday.com, with the Fixer closing rate, the open exposure and the legal entity attached. Finance works through one prioritised list per close instead of chasing rates and exposures across spreadsheets.

Before you book

Frequently asked questions.

Who owns the data?

You do. It lands in your warehouse, on your cloud account. We don't resell or aggregate it. If you stop working with us, the warehouse stays yours and keeps running.

How fresh is the data?

Near real time for most operational systems. For heavier sources we schedule hourly or nightly. You pick based on what the reports need.

Do I need a warehouse already?

No. If you don't have one, we help you pick one and set it up as part of the first delivery. Common starting points are Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, or a small Postgres start.

Which Fixer.io endpoints does the connector cover?

The latest, historical, time-series and fluctuation endpoints. Each call lands per day and per currency pair in the warehouse, with the source endpoint and timestamp kept on the row, so a downstream join knows whether a rate came from a same-day latest call or a back-fill of historical rates.

Can we use a base currency other than EUR?

Yes, on a paid Fixer plan. The free tier is built around EUR as the base currency. Paid plans (Basic and up) allow arbitrary base currencies, and the connector stores the rate per pair regardless of which side you query, so the warehouse model does not change when you switch the base.

How far back does the rate history go?

Fixer.io publishes historical rates back to 1 January 1999, which covers the full euro period. The connector can back-fill that range on first load, so consolidation reports and audit trails draw on the same Fixer source as the daily snapshot going forward.
