Authentication
The Global Exchange Rates API supports authentication using subscription API keys.
You can use your API key in this documentation to try out the requests. Use the Try it panel on each endpoint page and enter your key in the API key field.
Generating subscription API keys
The API keys are automatically generated by signing up to the Developer API Portal.
It’s possible to subscribe to the 30-day free trial to test API. During the trial period, all features of the selected plan are available.
Each plan includes both a primary and a secondary API key.
Authentication methods
The API supports two authentication methods:
- Using the header
Subscription-Key - Using the query parameter
subscription-key
Example using the query parameter:
https://api.globalexchangerates.org/v1/currencies?subscription-key=<subscription-key-value>
Regenerating API keys
The API keys should be kept private and secure. If you need to regenerate them, contact us.
