Retrieve an exchange rate

[Deprecated] The ExchangeRate APIs are deprecated. Please use the FX Quotes API instead.

ExchangeRate objects allow you to determine the rates that Stripe is currently using to convert from one currency to another. Since this number is variable throughout the day, there are various reasons why you might want to know the current rate (for example, to dynamically price an item for a user with a default payment in a foreign currency).

Please refer to our Exchange Rates API guide for more details.

[Note: this integration path is supported but no longer recommended] Additionally, you can guarantee that a charge is made with an exchange rate that you expect is current. To do so, you must pass in the exchange_rate to charges endpoints. If the value is no longer up to date, the charge won't go through. Please refer to our Using with charges guide for more details.
