Quotes (fx)
FX Quote API Overview
We offer a robust Foreign Exchange (FX) Quote API that allows you to programmatically request currency conversion rates for cross-border transactions. This API is designed to provide up-to-date pricing, enabling you to lock in rates for a limited time window and execute transactions with price certainty.
Quote Validity & Expiration
Each FX quote returned by the API includes a validity period, which defines how long the quoted rate remains guaranteed. This duration is configurable and typically ranges between 3 and 15 minutes, depending on your integration setup and the commercial terms associated with your account.
The exact expiration timestamp is provided in the API response. This allows your system to track the lifecycle of the quote and plan subsequent actions accordingly.
Handling Quote Expiration
To ensure seamless user experience and prevent transaction failures due to expired quotes, your application should implement the following logic:
Synchronize with the quote’s expiration timestamp provided in the response.
Proactively monitor the remaining time until expiration.
Initiate a new quote request automatically before the current quote expires (we recommend refreshing the quote when ~90% of the time has elapsed).
This proactive polling strategy ensures that your system always has an active, valid quote available for use, especially in workflows where the user may take time before confirming the transaction.
