Access exchange rates in XML format for legacy systems and monitoring tools

Endpoint

GET/v1/rates.xml

This endpoint does not require authentication

Query Parameters

Parameter	Required	Description
rate_type	No	"fixed" or "float" (default: "float")

Fixed vs Float XML

Fixed Rates

Fixed rates are locked for 15 minutes and include expiration timestamps:

GET /v1/rates.xml?rate_type=fixed

Float Rates

Float rates are real-time market rates that update continuously:

GET /v1/rates.xml?rate_type=float

Request Examples

Basic Request

curl -X GET "https://api.mintmove.io/v1/rates.xml" \
  -H "Accept: application/xml"

Fixed Rates

curl -X GET "https://api.mintmove.io/v1/rates.xml?rate_type=fixed" \
  -H "Accept: application/xml"

Use Cases

•Legacy Systems - Integrate with older systems that require XML format instead of JSON
•Monitoring Tools - Feed rates into monitoring and alerting systems that consume XML
•Data Aggregation - Collect rates for analysis or display on external dashboards
•Automated Trading - Monitor rates for automated trading strategies

Update Frequency

•Float Rates: Updated every 30-60 seconds based on market conditions
•Fixed Rates: Updated when new fixed rate periods begin (every 15 minutes)
•Caching: Responses are cached for 10 seconds to reduce server load

Note: Don't poll this endpoint more frequently than every 10 seconds. Use the timestamp field to detect when rates have actually changed.

Parsing Example (Python)

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
import requests

response = requests.get('https://api.mintmove.io/v1/rates.xml')
root = ET.fromstring(response.content)

timestamp = root.find('timestamp').text
rate_type = root.find('rate_type').text

for pair in root.findall('pairs/pair'):
    from_curr = pair.find('from').text
    to_curr = pair.find('to').text
    rate = float(pair.find('rate').text)
    enabled = pair.find('enabled').text == 'true'
    
    if enabled:
        print(f'{from_curr}/{to_curr}: {rate}')
