- ## Install
12
+ - 🏛️ **Official published rates** — Central Bank of Nigeria's own table, with the publisher's own `rate_date` on every response
13
+ - 📅 **History back to 2001** — point-in-time tables and daily series for any past date
14
+ - 🔀 **Published vs derived, always flagged** — computed inverse/cross pairs carry `derived: true`, never mixed with official prints
15
+ - ⚡ **Zero dependencies** — pure ESM + CJS over global `fetch`; Node 18+, Bun, Deno, and edge runtimes
16
+ - 🔷 **Type-safe** — full TypeScript definitions shipped with the package
17
+ - 🧾 **Compliance-grade metadata** — `rate_type`, publication date, and source disclaimer on every response
18
+
19
+ > **Official rate, not mid-market:** every value here is a number Central Bank of Nigeria 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.

112
+ ### Table for a date
113
+
114
+ Paid plans. The official table for any date since 2001 — weekends and holidays return the most recent published date, flagged via `published_on_requested_date`, which is exactly the in-force rate a filing needs.

134
+ }
135
+ ```
136
+
137

  Central Bank of Nigeria currently publishes rates covering **14 currencies** (as of the latest table):
48
176
 
49
177
  `AED` · `CHF` · `CNY` · `DKK` · `EUR` · `GBP` · `JPY` · `NGN` · `SAR` · `USD` · `XDR` · `XOF` · `XUA` · `ZAR`
50
178
 
51
- Pairs the central bank does not print directly are resolved from this table (see below).
179
+ ## ⚖️ Published vs derived rates
180
+
181
+ If Central Bank of Nigeria does not print a pair directly, the API resolves it from the central bank's own table and says so — official and computed values are never confused:
182
+
183
+ | `method` | `derived` | Meaning |
184
+ | --- | --- | --- |
185
+ | `published` | `false` | The central bank printed this pair directly |
186
+ | `inverse` | `true` | Computed as 1 ÷ the published opposite direction |
187
+ | `cross` | `true` | Computed via NGN from two published rates |
188
+
189
+ ## 🛡️ Error handling
190
+
191
+ Errors are thrown as `Error` with `status` (HTTP code) and `body` (the API's JSON error) attached:
192
+
193
+ ```js
194
+ try {
195
+ const pair = await getRate('USD', 'XXX', { apiKey: 'art_live_...' });
196
+ } catch (err) {
197
+ console.log(err.message); // human-readable reason
198
+ console.log(err.status); // e.g. 404
199
+ }
200
+ ```
201
+
202
+ | Status | Meaning |
203
+ | ------ | ------- |
204
+ | — | Missing `apiKey` (thrown before any request) |
205
+ | `400` | Malformed date or parameters |
206
+ | `401` | Invalid API key |
207
+ | `403` | Endpoint needs a [paid plan](https://allratestoday.com/pricing/) (historical dates & series) |
208
+ | `404` | Pair or date range not covered by Central Bank of Nigeria |
209
+ | `429` | Monthly quota exceeded |
210
+
211
+ ## 🔷 TypeScript
212
+
213
+ Full definitions ship with the package — no `@types` install:
214
+
215
+ ```ts
216
+ import type { LatestRates, PairRate, DatedRates, RateEntry, HistoryQuery, RequestOptions } from 'cbn-exchange-rate';
217
+ ```
218
+
219
+ ## 📦 CommonJS
220
+
221
+ ```javascript
222
+ const { getRate } = require('cbn-exchange-rate');
223
+
224
+ getRate('USD', 'NGN', { apiKey: 'art_live_...' }).then((pair) => console.log(pair.rate));
225
+ ```
226
+
227
+ ## 💡 Quota tips
228
+
229
+ - Rates change once per business day — cache the published table locally and a small monthly quota goes a long way.
230
+ - Every request counts toward your AllRatesToday quota, shared across all AllRatesToday endpoints on your key.

232
+ ## 📖 Methods reference
54
233
 
55
- If Central Bank of Nigeria does not print a pair directly, the API resolves it from the bank's table (inverse, or a cross rate via NGN) and flags it `derived: true` with the `method` — so official and computed values are never confused.
234
+ | Method | Plan | Description |
235
+ | ------ | ---- | ----------- |
236
+ | `getRate(source, target, { apiKey })` | Free | Latest rate for one pair, resolved from the published table |
237
+ | `getLatestRates({ apiKey })` | Free | The central bank's full latest published table |
238
+ | `getRatesForDate(date, { apiKey, source?, target? })` | Paid | The official table (or one pair) for a YYYY-MM-DD date |
239
+ | `getHistory({ symbol \| source+target, from?, to? }, { apiKey })` | Paid | Daily series since 2001 |
