GraphQL AccessALPHA

Access Currency Symbols through GraphQL to combine it with other API calls in a single request. Query only the currency symbols data you need with precise field selection, and orchestrate complex data fetching workflows.

Test Currency Symbols in the GraphQL Explorer to confirm availability and experiment with queries.

Credit Cost: Each API called in your GraphQL query consumes its standard credit cost.

GraphQL Endpoint

POST https://api.apiverve.com/v1/graphql

GraphQL Query Example

query {
  currencysymbols(
    input: {
      currency: "USD"
    }
  ) {
    countriesFound
    currency
  }
}

Note: Authentication is handled via the x-api-key header in your GraphQL request, not as a query parameter.

Try in GraphQL Explorer GraphQL Documentation

CORS Support

The Currency Symbols API supports Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) with wildcard configuration, allowing you to call Currency Symbols directly from browser-based applications without proxy servers.

CORS Header	Value	Description
`Access-Control-Allow-Origin`	`*`	Accepts requests from any origin
`Access-Control-Allow-Methods`	`*`	Accepts any HTTP method
`Access-Control-Allow-Headers`	`*`	Accepts any request headers

Browser Usage: You can call Currency Symbols directly from JavaScript running in the browser without encountering CORS errors. No proxy server or additional configuration needed.

Rate Limiting

Currency Symbols API requests are subject to rate limiting based on your subscription plan. These limits ensure fair usage and maintain service quality for all Currency Symbols users.

Plan	Rate Limit	Description
Free	5 requests/min	Hard rate limit enforced - exceeding will return 429 errors
Starter	No Limit	Production ready - standard traffic priority
Pro	No Limit	Production ready - preferred traffic priority
Mega	No Limit	Production ready - highest traffic priority

Learn more about rate limiting →

Rate Limit Headers

When rate limits apply, each Currency Symbols response includes headers to help you track your usage:

Header	Description
`X-RateLimit-Limit`	Maximum number of requests allowed per time window
`X-RateLimit-Remaining`	Number of requests remaining in the current window
`X-RateLimit-Reset`	Unix timestamp when the rate limit window resets

Handling Rate Limits

Free Plan: When you exceed your rate limit, Currency Symbols returns a 429 Too Many Requests status code. Your application should implement appropriate backoff logic to handle this gracefully.

Paid Plans: No rate limiting or throttling applied. All paid plans (Starter, Pro, Mega) are production-ready.

Best Practices for Currency Symbols:

Monitor the rate limit headers to track your Currency Symbols usage (Free plan only)
Cache currency symbols responses where appropriate to reduce API calls
Upgrade to Pro or Mega for guaranteed no-throttle Currency Symbols performance

Note: Currency Symbols rate limits are separate from credit consumption. You may have credits remaining but still hit rate limits when using Currency Symbols on Free tier.

Error Codes

The Currency Symbols API uses standard HTTP status codes to indicate success or failure:

Code	Message	Description	Solution
`200`	`OK`	Request successful, data returned	No action needed - request was successful
`400`	`Bad Request`	Invalid request parameters or malformed request	Check required parameters and ensure values match expected formats
`401`	`Unauthorized`	Missing or invalid API key	Include x-api-key header with valid API key from dashboard
`403`	`Forbidden`	API key lacks permission or insufficient credits	Check credit balance in dashboard or upgrade plan
`429`	`Too Many Requests`	Rate limit exceeded (Free: 5 req/min)	Implement request throttling or upgrade to paid plan
`500`	`Internal Server Error`	Server error occurred	Retry request after a few seconds, contact support if persists
`503`	`Service Unavailable`	API temporarily unavailable	Wait and retry, check status page for maintenance updates

How many credits does Currency Symbols cost?

Each successful Currency Symbols API call consumes credits based on plan tier. Check the pricing section above for the exact credit cost. Failed requests and errors don't consume credits, so you only pay for successful currency symbols lookups.

Can I use Currency Symbols in production?

The free plan is for testing and development only. For production use of Currency Symbols, upgrade to a paid plan (Starter, Pro, or Mega) which includes commercial use rights, no attribution requirements, and guaranteed uptime SLAs. All paid plans are production-ready.

Yes! The Currency Symbols API supports CORS with wildcard configuration, so you can call it directly from browser-based JavaScript without needing a proxy server. See the CORS section above for details.

What happens if I exceed my Currency Symbols credit limit?

When you reach your monthly credit limit, Currency Symbols API requests will return an error until you upgrade your plan or wait for the next billing cycle. You'll receive notifications at 80% and 95% usage to give you time to upgrade if needed.
