 > **Official rate, not mid-market:** every value here is a number Central Bank of Uruguay 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 Bank of Uruguay 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/bcu?source=USD&target=UYU"
+```
+
+```js
+const r = await fetch('https://allratestoday.com/api/open/central-bank/bcu').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 Uruguay publishes daily official quotations — buying and selling rates for about 30 currencies against the peso, with each day's table set at the previous evening's close. It is the reference Uruguayan accounting, customs and courts cite, and the published history reaches back to 2000.

+- Publication: every business day; the exact schedule, freshness status and any current delay are on the [Central Bank of Uruguay rates page](https://allratestoday.com/central-bank-rates-api/bcu/)
+- 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 Uruguay quotes **UYU per 1 unit of foreign currency** (e.g. `base: "USD", quote: "UYU"` means UYU 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.
