Formats

The API supports the following formats:

  • JSON
  • XML
  • CSV

JSON is the default format.

You can specify the desired format using the query parameter format.

Example request for the XML format: https://api.globalexchangerates.org/v1/currencies?format=XML&code=EUR

Code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<currencies xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <Currency>

        <name>Euro</name>
        <numericCode>978</numericCode>
        <obsolete>false</obsolete>
    </Currency>
</currencies>

The CSV format supports an additional query parameter, header, which can be used to include column headers in the response. https://api.globalexchangerates.org/v1/currencies?format=CSV&code=EUR&header=true
