AUTH NONECORS ✓AGENT ✓HTTPS ✓COMMERCIAL ✓

Frankfurter tracks reference exchange rates from the European Central Bank and friends. It is the rare free API with zero strings attached: MIT-licensed code, self-hostable via Docker, explicit yes to commercial use, and no quotas beyond abuse-prevention rate limiting. The gold standard for what a free API should be.
