Good to know

  • · Rates are indicative mid-market, for display and estimation.
  • · Stablecoins normalise to their reference currency (USDT/USDC → USD, cNGN → NGN).
  • · Every rate is a decimal string, never a float — don't parse to binary floats for money.
  • · Public and rate-limited per IP. Heavy or commercial use should use an API key.
