Every rate carries its source
Three fields come back with every request, no extra calls required.
The rate
The exchange rate for the currency pair you requested.
field: rate
Its central bank
The institution that published the rate, named on every response.
field: source
Its minute
A timestamp to the minute, so you know how current the rate is.
field: published_at
Precision as traceability, not as tick speed
Not real-time. Each rate is timestamped to the minute its central bank published it, so you can show exactly where a number came from.
