Use cases

Exchange rates for marketplaces

Let buyers and sellers transact across currencies with transparent, up-to-date conversion.

Example

A global marketplace lists items in sellers’ currencies. Buyers see an estimated price in their own currency, converted at the latest rate, before they commit.

# Estimate a seller's price for the buyer

Why Rate-API

• Per-listing conversion with a single /convert call.
• Any-pair cross-rates, not just against USD.
• Scales with usage metering and per-plan rate limits.
