Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI document for Currencytick API, keeping it validated and agent-ready.

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for Currencytick API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. Currencytick is a foreign-exchange data service that delivers live and historical currency rates over a small, focused REST surface. The API exposes a healthcheck, a live rates endpoint, a historical rate lookup, and a supported-currencies listing, with authentication by API key passed as the apikey query parameter.

★ Lightweight FX Quote Display

Show a live exchange rate beside a price, balance, or invoice line item without integrating a heavy financial-data platform. Currencytick's /live endpoint returns rates in a single call against a base currency, suitable for product pages, dashboards, or notification systems where teams need a current rate but do not need streaming or sub-second updates.

Call GET /live with base=USD and target=EUR to display the current EUR price next to a 99 USD product

Historical Rate Lookup for Reconciliation

Look up the exchange rate that applied on a past date for accounting, expense reports, or invoice reconciliation. The /historical endpoint takes a date and base currency and returns the rates that were active, removing the need to maintain an in-house archive of FX history.

Call GET /historical with date=2024-12-31 and base=USD to retrieve the year-end EUR/USD rate for accounting close

Supported Currency Validation

Validate user-entered currency codes before submitting a conversion or quote request, by fetching the canonical list of supported currencies from /supported_currencies. Useful for multi-currency forms, finance back-office tools, and onboarding flows where teams need to gate user input.

Call GET /supported_currencies and check whether 'PLN' is present before allowing the user to submit a conversion request

AI Agent Currency Lookup via Jentic

An AI agent answering a natural language FX query uses Jentic to find the right Currencytick operation and execute it without bespoke integration work. The agent searches for 'live exchange rate', loads the /live schema, supplies base and target, and returns the rate to the user.

Use Jentic to search 'live exchange rate' and execute /live with base=USD and target=JPY to answer a user's rate query

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Currencytick apikey values are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault and appended to outbound query strings at execution time. The agent never sees the raw key.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (e.g. 'live exchange rate' or 'historical currency rate') and Jentic returns the matching Currencytick operation with its query-parameter schema.

Time to first call

Direct Currencytick integration: 1-2 hours for auth and date parsing. Through Jentic: under 10 minutes — search, load, execute.

FAQs

Specific to using Currencytick API API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Currencytick API?

Currencytick does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call Currencytick API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

What authentication does the Currencytick API use?

The API uses an API key supplied as the apikey query parameter on every request. Through Jentic the key is held in the encrypted vault and injected at execution time, so the raw secret is never visible to the agent.

Can I get historical rates with the Currencytick API?

Yes. Call GET /historical with the desired past date and base currency to retrieve the rates that applied on that day for the supported target currencies.

What are the rate limits for the Currencytick API?

Rate limits depend on the Currencytick plan tier and are not encoded in the spec. Check your Currencytick account dashboard for the exact quota that applies to your key.

How do I look up a live exchange rate through Jentic?

Install the SDK with pip install jentic, search for 'live exchange rate', load the /live operation, and execute it with base and target query parameters. Jentic returns the rate without you handling the apikey directly.

How do I validate a currency code is supported?

Call GET /supported_currencies, which returns the full list of currency codes Currencytick can quote. Check membership in that list before issuing a /live or /historical request.
