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 out button on each request, and fill your subscription key in the Authorization Token field of the Auth tab.

Generating subscription API keys#

The API keys are automatically generated by signing up to the Developer API Portal.
💡
It's possibile 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.
