In order to facilitate the exchange rates dissemination, the NBR provides XML files:
https://www.bnr.ro/nbrfxrates.xml
The data are updated in real time, shortly after 13:00, every banking day.
It is recommended to avoid using regular website pages for parsing, their content or structure may be changed without prior notice.
In order to minimize the traffic we recommend to store information locally.
The exchange rate files in XML format are generated under the scheme:
https://www.bnr.ro/xsd/nbrfxrates.xsd
Attention!
Please keep in mind the transition from http access type (80 port) to https (443 port), the connection being based on a digital certificate.
TLS (Transport Layer Security) encryption mechanisms will be implemented so unencrypted traffic will no longer be accepted.
Application users who automatically collect currency exchange information should also implement encryption mechanism using the TLS protocol 1.2 and Cipher Suites.
- TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256
- TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
- TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA
