**Official Central Bank of Nigeria (Nigeria) daily exchange rates for Node.js and TypeScript. The published central bank rates behind tax filings, customs valuations, audits, and compliant invoicing — not market estimates, but the numbers Central Bank of Nigeria itself prints, every business day.**

## 🚀 Why this client?

|

9
|
-
|
|
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
|
|

|
|

> **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.

### 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.

Pass `{ symbol: 'USD' }` instead of `source`/`target` to get the raw published rows for one currency (all rate types, no pair resolution).

## 🗺️ Currencies covered

|
|

175
|
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`

|

## ⚖️ 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.
