```

Example prompt: What's today's official daily reference exchange rate from USD to JPY? I need it for normalizing invoice amounts in my financial report.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need an official daily reference exchange rate for invoice pricing, financial reporting, or data normalization across roughly 30 supported ISO currency codes. It is not suitable for live trading applications where sub-second or sub-minute rate freshness is required. Prefer this over live FX APIs when auditability of a published daily rate is more important than real-time accuracy.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported or invalid ISO currency code returns an error indicating unsupported currency
- Missing base or quote parameter may fall back to defaults (USD/EUR) rather than returning an error
- Rate may be up to one business day old — weekends and holidays will return the last published business day rate
- Network or payment failure ($0.003 USDC via x402) results in no data returned
- Cached rate (1-hour cache) may not reflect same-day corrections

## How this service works

The official daily reference exchange rate between two major fiat currencies out of roughly 30 supported ISO codes, with the rate's effective date. Published once per business day, so it's built for invoice pricing, financial reporting, and normalization tasks rather than live trading, where a stale-by-seconds rate would be a problem. Cached 1 hour.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the exchange rate value between the two specified ISO currency codes and the effective date of that rate, published once per business day and cached for one hour — suitable for invoice pricing and financial reporting but not live trading.
