 > **Official rate, not mid-market:** every value here is a number Central Reserve Bank of Peru itself published, fixed once printed and carrying the central bank's own `rate_date` — what filings and audits require. Need the live interbank midpoint for pricing or display instead? Use the [mid-market API](https://allratestoday.com/docs/) or [`@allratestoday/sdk`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@allratestoday/sdk). The two can diverge by several percent.

+The latest Central Reserve Bank of Peru table is also served keyless, CORS-open and edge-cached, for evaluation, embeds and AI agents:
+
+```bash
+curl "https://allratestoday.com/api/open/central-bank/bcrp?source=USD&target=PEN"
+```
+
+```js
+const r = await fetch('https://allratestoday.com/api/open/central-bank/bcrp').then((x) => x.json());
+console.log(r.rate_date, r.rates.length); // the central bank's latest published table, no key
+```
+
+The open endpoint serves the *latest* table only and asks for a visible attribution link. The client below uses the keyed API, which adds point-in-time tables, history, and CSV/XML/Excel output.

+## 🏛️ Source
+
+The Central Reserve Bank of Peru (BCRP) is Peru's autonomous central bank. It publishes the official exchange rate for the sol (buy and sell) each business day through its statistical portal — the reference used across Peruvian banking and financial reporting.
+
+- Publisher's own page: [Tipo de cambio — daily series](https://estadisticas.bcrp.gob.pe/estadisticas/series/diarias/tipo-de-cambio) · [www.bcrp.gob.pe](https://www.bcrp.gob.pe)
+- Publication: every business day; the exact schedule, freshness status and any current delay are on the [Central Reserve Bank of Peru rates page](https://allratestoday.com/central-bank-rates-api/bcrp/)
+- Values are stored unmodified, with the publisher's own `rate_date` on every row — see the [methodology](https://allratestoday.com/official-rates-methodology/)
+
+## 🧭 Reading the numbers
+
+- `value` is always **quote currency per 1 unit of base currency** (`base: "EUR", quote: "USD", value: 1.15` means 1 EUR = 1.15 USD).
+- Central Reserve Bank of Peru quotes **PEN per 1 unit of foreign currency** (e.g. `base: "USD", quote: "PEN"` means PEN per one US dollar).
+- Need the other way round? Ask `getRate(target, source)` and the API inverts or crosses for you, flagged `derived: true` — never divide a published rate yourself in a compliance workflow.
+- `rate_type` tells you which of the central bank's series a row belongs to (`sell` here); some publishers print buy/sell or several fixings for the same pair.
+
+## 🧩 ERP & accounting systems

+Loading the official Central Reserve Bank of Peru rate into an accounting system is a supported workflow, not a hack. Step-by-step guides with the direction each system expects:

+The same keyed endpoints return `?format=csv`, `?format=xml` and `?format=xlsx`, and accept the key as `?api_key=` on the URL for importers that cannot send headers:
