Submit our contact form and indicate which countries, banks, or tax authorities you are interested in. Our team will provide onboarding details and API access instructions.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Yes, Fluentax offers a free 30-day trial following company verification. We collect company information to verify legitimate business use of our service, prevent misuse, and comply with applicable regulations. Use our contact form to get started and access the API.

Question 3

How is Fluentax FX API priced?

Accepted Answer

Fluentax uses private, customized pricing. Costs depend on factors such as the countries and sources you need access to, your data volume, SLA requirements, and support options. All plans provide official, compliance-ready exchange rates. For a tailored quote, please reach out to our team via the contact form.

Question 4

Where can I find the API documentation?

Accepted Answer

The API documentation is available on the Swagger page and includes the always up-to-date OpenAPI specification. You can explore endpoints, test requests, and generate client SDKs. Additional authentication guides and code samples are available in the Developer Portal.

Question 5

What is the earliest available date for historical exchange rates?

Accepted Answer

Historical exchange rates are typically available starting from January 1, 2015, or the first business day of that month for most banks. The exact availability range can be verified through the API.

Question 6

Why is historical data from 2015 sufficient for VAT and GST compliance?

Accepted Answer

In most jurisdictions, the statute of limitations for VAT and GST ranges from three to six years. Historical exchange rate data starting from 2015 typically exceeds these compliance requirements.

Question 7

Which exchange rate types are supported?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the source bank or tax authority, supported frequencies include daily, weekly, biweekly, and monthly rates. Available price types may include midpoint, bid, and ask rates.

Question 8

What sources are used for exchange rates?

Accepted Answer

Exchange rates are sourced from official central banks and tax authorities in accordance with national VAT and GST legislation in supported countries.

Question 9

How do I know which source and rate to use for my compliance?

Accepted Answer

Fluentax provides exchange rates from official sources, including central banks and tax authorities. Determining which rate to use and how to apply it for your reporting depends on local legislation.

We recommend consulting your local finance team or tax advisor to ensure calculations are done correctly. This includes:
- Matching the correct rate to the transaction date (invoice, payment, or reporting date).
- Using the appropriate rate frequency (daily, monthly, or otherwise).
- Selecting the official source required for your tax type.
- Choosing the correct price type (mid, ask, or bid) if applicable for your jurisdiction.

Disclaimer: Fluentax provides official exchange rates for reference only. We do not provide tax advice and are not responsible for how you use this data. Companies remain responsible for applying it correctly in compliance with local tax laws.

Question 10

How often are exchange rates updated?

Accepted Answer

New exchange rates become available almost instantly after they are officially published by the respective central bank or tax authority.

Question 11

Which file formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

Exchange rate data can be accessed in JSON, XML, Excel, and CSV formats via both the API and the web application.

Question 12

Can I use the service without API integration?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In addition to the API, a web application is available for browsing and downloading exchange rates manually.

Question 13

I cannot find a specific bank or country in the list. Will it be added?

Accepted Answer

Supported countries and banks are continuously expanded. If you require a specific source that is not currently available, you can submit a request through the contact form.

Question 14

What sets Fluentax API apart from other exchange rate services?

Accepted Answer

Most providers use market rates that differ from prescribed sources and therefore cannot be used for compliance. Fluentax provides official rates specifically intended for tax compliance. Sources are clearly identified and exposed as separate data feeds. We standardize data using ISO currency codes, dates, standard numerical formats, and mid rates where only bid/ask rates are provided, while keeping the data as close as possible to official publications. This approach allows you to access multiple jurisdictions without building custom integrations.
