Retrieving interest rates and exchange rates via API

The Riksbank has an open API (Application Programming Interface) that makes it possible to automatically values for interest rates and exchange rates from the Riksbank. Information on the Riksbank’s API for interest rates and exchange rates is presented here.

DISCLAIMERS and RESERVATION

Exchange rates are indicative only and are published by the Riksbank for information purposes. They should therefore not be used for transactional purposes.

The Riksbank disclaims liability for any errors or changes in values afterwards and for any interruptions in the functioning of the website and the API that may affect access to the statistics.

The Riksbank reserves the right to make updates/changes to the website and the API that may affect the downloading of statistics.

The API for interest rates and exchange rates is a REST API that makes it possible to collect the most recently published interest rate and exchange rate values or previous publications for a time period. The REST API is newly developed and was published on 27 November 2023. The API can be used free of charge, but the number of calls that can be made during a period of time from a given IP address is limited. If you need to make more calls, it is also possible to register as a user in the Riksbank’s API portal.

The Riksbank’s old SOAP API for interest rates and exchange rates will close on 27 May 2024

The Riksbank’s old SOAP API for interest rates and exchange rates will close on 27 May 2024. When it closes, the SOAP API will stop working and anyone who has set up an integration with the SOAP API must develop a new integration with the new REST API to continue to be able to automatically retrieve interest rates and exchange rates via API from the Riksbank.
