ActionExchangeRate-APIUpdated September 2026
How do I get the current exchange rate for a currency pair?
Short answer: You can get exchange rate in ExchangeRate-API by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the ExchangeRate-API Get Exchange Rate action to a workflow, map its 2 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.
Inputs
The fields this action accepts.
Every field can be mapped from an upstream trigger, AI step, table row, or hard-coded literal.
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Base Currency base | string | Required | Base Currency |
Target Currency target | string | Required | Target Currency. e.g. "EUR" |
Sample request
{"base": "{{trigger.base}}","target": "EUR"}
Returns
{"result": "success","base_code": "USD","target_code": "EUR","conversion_rate": 0.9215}
Use these fields in downstream nodes for routing, logging, or error handling.

FAQ
Questions about Get Exchange Rate.
What does the Get Exchange Rate action do in ExchangeRate-API?
Returns the latest exchange rate between two currencies. For "show price in user's local currency" workflows or for "report total revenue normalised to USD" daily rollups.
What inputs does Get Exchange Rate require?
Required: Base Currency, Target Currency. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if ExchangeRate-API returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message ExchangeRate-API returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Get Exchange Rate support batch operations?
Run Get Exchange Rate inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within ExchangeRate-API's rate limits.
