A lightweight, type-safe JavaScript/TypeScript client for the Frankfurter Currency Exchange Rates API (Version 2), designed for developers who want clean abstractions, strong date validation, and a minimal API surface. This package wraps the Frankfurter API with strict input validation, predictable error handling, and zero runtime configuration.
This is the V2 version of the client, powered by the official Frankfurter API V2. No API Keys are required.
npm install frankfurter-api-client-v2- TypeScript-first with full type definitions
- Strict date validation (including leap years & future dates)
- Supports historical rates, time-series queries, currency info, and provider data
- Minimal dependencies: dayjs only
- Clean, promise-based API - Works in both Node.js and modern browsers
All functions in this package are async and may throw errors due to network issues, invalid input, or API errors. Always wrap your calls in try-catch blocks to handle errors gracefully:

const data = await getLatestRates({ base: 'EUR' });
console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Failed to get rates:', error.message);
