Example prompt: Can you get me today's official BNR exchange rate for EUR to RON so I can use it for my Romanian e-invoice?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need the official, legally recognized Romanian National Bank exchange rate for RON conversions — especially for compliance use cases such as Romanian e-invoicing (e-Factura), VAT reporting, tax declarations, or accounting entries that require the official BNR rate rather than a market or commercial forex rate.

## Known failure modes

- BNR data unavailable on weekends or holidays, returning last available rate
- Invalid or unsupported currency code resulting in empty or error response
- Rate data not yet published for the current day if queried early in the morning
- Network or upstream BNR source unavailability causing a 5xx error
