About Fixer.io
The Story behind Fixer.io
Fixer.io started out as a simple, lightweight Open-Source API for current and historical foreign exchange (Forex) rates published by the European Central Bank. After six years of constant growth the Fixer API was taken over by apilayer to join its powerful API suite used by millions of developers and companies arond the world. In the course of this transition, Fixer.io was rebuilt completely and extended dramatically in data richness, exchange rate data accuracy and functionality.

Fixer is built on top of a powerful back-end infrastructure allowing for high availability and response times below 50ms for specific API requests.
