 > **Official rate, not mid-market:** every value here is a number Central Bank of Tunisia 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.
 
+## ⚡ Try it without a key

+The latest Central Bank of Tunisia 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/bct?source=USD&target=TND"
+```
+
+```js
+const r = await fetch('https://allratestoday.com/api/open/central-bank/bct').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 Bank of Tunisia publishes daily interbank average dinar rates for about 20 currencies — the official reference Tunisian businesses, customs and banks use. The archive reaches back to 2004, and the bulletin also carries banknote and forward rates.
+
+- Publisher's own page: [Cours de change](https://www.bct.gov.tn/bct/siteprod/cours.jsp) · [www.bct.gov.tn](https://www.bct.gov.tn)
+- Publication: every business day; the exact schedule, freshness status and any current delay are on the [Central Bank of Tunisia rates page](https://allratestoday.com/central-bank-rates-api/bct/)
+- 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 Bank of Tunisia quotes **TND per 1 unit of foreign currency** (e.g. `base: "USD", quote: "TND"` means TND 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 (`reference` here); some publishers print buy/sell or several fixings for the same pair.
