How this service works
Official FX rate — one African pair. Official forex reference rate vs USD for one African currency: KES (Kenyan shilling), NGN (naira), GHS (cedi), TZS, UGX, ZAR, EGP, RWF, via Frankfurter (frankfurter.dev). Frankfurter blends published central-bank reference rates; the number is that blend, not a single central-bank fixing. Each response names the source and carries as_of (Frankfurter's rate date) and fetched_at.
Output
A JSON object containing the currency pair string (e.g. 'USD-KES'), the official numeric exchange rate, the date the rate is valid as of, and the source identifier (e.g. 'frankfurter').
Example use cases
Invoice conversion for Kenyan clients
“I need to invoice a client in Kenya — what's the official USD to KES exchange rate today so I can convert my $2,500 fee into shillings?”
Cross-border payroll calculation
“We're paying staff in Ghana this week. Can you get me the official USD-GHS rate so I can figure out how much cedis to send?”
Fintech app FX rate display
“My app needs to show users the current official exchange rate for USD to Tanzanian shillings — can you fetch the USD-TZS official rate right now?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://agents.nibiashara.biz/shelf/fx-official?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need the official, central-bank-aligned exchange rate for an African currency vs USD with a verifiable timestamp and source. Prefer this over the parallel/street-rate endpoint when compliance, invoicing, or financial reporting requires an authoritative rate rather than a market/P2P-derived rate.
Side effects
- Missing or invalid 'pair' query parameter returns an error — pair must be formatted as 'USD-KES'
- Unsupported currency pair (non-African or unrecognized code) may return no data or an error
- Stale data if upstream Frankfurter/ECB feed has not yet updated for the current day
- Payment failure (x402 protocol) if USDC balance is insufficient — call is not executed
