API Reference

Minified Response ('prettyprint')

All of our API requests can be minified or pretty-printed.

By default, the Open Exchange Rates API returns responses in human-readable (pretty-printed) format, with indentation and line breaks.

If you prefer to minify your API responses to save bandwidth, you can use the prettyprint query parameter with any valid API route.

The data will be returned with unnecessary whitespace removed, but otherwise exactly the same.

Example Query

Request: 

https://openexchangerates.org/api/latest.json
    ?app_id=[[app:app_id]]
    &prettyprint=0

$.get('https://openexchangerates.org/api/latest.json', {app_id: '[[app:app_id]]', prettyprint: 0}, function(data) {
    console.log(data);
});

Response: 

{"disclaimer": "[...]","license":"[...]","timestamp":1453623028,"base":"USD","rates":{"AED":3.67289,"AFN":68.580001,"ALL":127.189901,/* ... */}}

📘

Please note: because the default value is 1 ('true'), you need to specify prettyprint=0 to receive minified responses.
