# Exchange rates

> Indicative currency rates for display and estimation.

<Note>
  These rates are indicative, for display and estimation. They are **not** the rates applied
  when a payment is converted. Do not use them to pre-compute what you will be settled.
</Note>

Like every endpoint, both calls require your secret key.

## Latest rates

```
GET /exchange-rates/latest/{baseCurrency}
```

`baseCurrency` is optional and defaults to `USD`.

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl https://api.orqex.com/v1/exchange-rates/latest/EUR \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_..."
  ```

  ```php PHP theme={null}
  $rates = $orqex->exchangeRates()->latest('EUR');

  $rates->base;              // 'EUR'
  $rates->rateFor('USD');    // 1.0542
  ```
</CodeGroup>

```json theme={null}
{
  "data": {
    "base": "EUR",
    "date": "2026-08-02 12:00:00",
    "rates": {
      "USD": 1.0542,
      "GBP": 0.8321
    }
  }
}
```
