Zapier

API key

Automate currency across 8,000+ apps. Start a Zap the moment an exchange rate moves, or drop live conversion into any workflow - no code. Rate-API gives you one trigger and two actions.

Add Rate-API to your Zapier API reference

Examples

Trigger: Exchange Rate Changed (from / to)Action: Convert Currency (from / to / amount)Action: Get Exchange Rate (from / to)

Setup

  1. 1

    Add Rate-API to your account

    Click “Add Rate-API to your Zapier” above and accept the invite. That makes the Rate-API trigger and actions available in your Zap editor (it’s in preview while we finish the public directory listing).

  2. 2

    Grab your API key

    Copy your key from the Rate-API dashboard → API Keys. You’ll paste it once when you connect the account; it’s verified against your plan quota.

  3. 3

    Start your Zap two ways

    Either use the Exchange Rate Changed trigger so the Zap runs when a pair’s rate moves - or start with another app (Schedule, Google Sheets, a form) and add Rate-API as a step. Rate-API steps are actions, so a “do this every hour” Zap uses Schedule by Zapier as the trigger.

  4. 4

    Add the Rate-API step

    Search “Rate-API”, pick the trigger or an action (Convert Currency / Get Exchange Rate), connect with your key, set From / To (and Amount for Convert), then test and turn it on.

  5. 5

    Self-publish instead (optional)

    Prefer your own private copy? The app source is in the Rate-API repo under integrations/zapier - push it with the Zapier CLI.

    cd integrations/zapier && npm install
./node_modules/.bin/zapier-platform login
./node_modules/.bin/zapier-platform register "Rate-API"
./node_modules/.bin/zapier-platform push
