Frankfurter is an open-source currency exchange rate API that provides reliable financial data based on reference rates from institutional sources such as the European Central Bank. It is designed to be simple, transparent, and free to use, with no API key requirements or usage limits, making it particularly attractive for developers and small projects. The API offers endpoints for retrieving the latest exchange rates, historical data, and time-series data, enabling both basic conversions and more advanced financial analysis.
