State Bank of Vietnam Exchange Rates API — sbv-exchange-rate

Official State Bank of Vietnam (Vietnam) daily exchange rates for Node.js and TypeScript. The published central bank rates behind tax filings, customs valuations, audits, and compliant invoicing — not market estimates, but the numbers State Bank of Vietnam itself prints, every business day.

🚀 Why this client?

• 🏛️ Official published rates — State Bank of Vietnam's own table, with the publisher's own rate_date on every response
• 📅 History back to 2009 — point-in-time tables and daily series for any past date
• 🔀 Published vs derived, always flagged — computed inverse/cross pairs carry derived: true, never mixed with official prints
• ⚡ Zero dependencies — pure ESM + CJS over global fetch; Node 18+, Bun, Deno, and edge runtimes
• 🔷 Type-safe — full TypeScript definitions shipped with the package
• 🧾 Compliance-grade metadata — rate_type, publication date, and source disclaimer on every response

Official rate, not mid-market: every value here is a number State Bank of Vietnam itself published, fixed once printed and carrying the central bank's own rate_date — what filings and audits require. Need the live mid-market rate for pricing or display instead? Use the mid-market API or @allratestoday/sdk. The two can diverge by several percent.

⚡ Try it without a key

The latest State Bank of Vietnam table is also served keyless, CORS-open and edge-cached, for evaluation, embeds and AI agents:

curl "https://allratestoday.com/api/open/central-bank/sbv?source=USD&target=VND"

const r = await fetch('https://allratestoday.com/api/open/central-bank/sbv').then((x) => x.json());
console.log(r.rate_date, r.rates.length); // the central bank's latest published table, no key

The open endpoint serves the latest table only and asks for a visible attribution link. The client below uses the keyed API, which adds point-in-time tables, history, and CSV/XML/Excel output.

📈 Latest published table

Today's full State Bank of Vietnam table, straight from the central bank's latest publication. On GitHub it is refreshed by a daily Action that reads the keyless endpoint above and commits only when the central bank publishes a new table; the copy on npm is as of the package's publish date.

🏁 Quick start

import { getRate } from 'sbv-exchange-rate';

const pair = await getRate('USD', 'VND', { apiKey: 'art_live_...' });
console.log(pair.rate, pair.rate_date); // the official State Bank of Vietnam rate, on the central bank's own date

Latest pair rate

Free plan and up. Pairs the central bank does not print directly are resolved from its table and flagged (see Published vs derived rates below).

const pair = await getRate('USD', 'VND', { apiKey: 'art_live_...' });

Response:

{
  bank: 'sbv',
  name: 'State Bank of Vietnam',
  rate_date: '2026-10-08',   // State Bank of Vietnam's own publication date
  source: 'USD',
  target: 'VND',
  rate: 25634,
  rate_type: 'reference',
  derived: false,
  method: 'published',

    // … the rest of the published table (28 currencies vs VND)
  ],
  disclaimer: '…'
}

Table for a date

Paid plans. The official table for any date since 2009 — weekends and holidays return the most recent published date, flagged via published_on_requested_date, which is exactly the in-force rate a filing needs.

import { getRatesForDate } from 'sbv-exchange-rate';

const day = await getRatesForDate('2026-06-30', { apiKey: 'art_live_...' });
// Optionally narrow to one pair:
const one = await getRatesForDate('2026-06-30', { apiKey: 'art_live_...', source: 'USD', target: 'VND' });

Response:

{
  bank: 'sbv',
  requested_date: '2026-06-30',
  rate_date: '2026-06-30',                // the date actually published
  published_on_requested_date: true,      // false when a weekend/holiday fell back
  rates: [ /* the full table for that date */ ],
  disclaimer: '…'
}

Daily time series

Paid plans. One resolved rate per publication date — ready for charting, revaluation runs, or audit workpapers.

import { getHistory } from 'sbv-exchange-rate';

const series = await getHistory(
  { source: 'USD', target: 'VND', from: '2026-01-01', to: '2026-10-08' },
  { apiKey: 'art_live_...' }
);

Response:

{
  bank: 'sbv',
  source: 'USD',
  target: 'VND',
  from: '2026-01-01',
  to: '2026-10-08',
  count: 152,
  rates: [
    // one entry per publication date
    { date: '2026-10-08', rate: 25634, rate_type: 'reference', derived: false, method: 'published' },
    // …
  ],
  disclaimer: '…'
}

Pass { symbol: 'USD' } instead of source/target to get the raw published rows for one currency (all rate types, no pair resolution).

🏛️ Source

The State Bank of Vietnam announces a daily USD/VND central rate — each announcement carrying its own decree number — around which banks may trade within a band, plus reference buying and selling rates for seven currencies and a weekly 27-currency cross-rate table used for customs and tax valuation. The central-rate series reaches back to 2009.

• Publisher's own page: Central exchange rate · www.sbv.gov.vn
• Publication: every business day; the exact schedule, freshness status and any current delay are on the State Bank of Vietnam rates page
• Values are stored unmodified, with the publisher's own rate_date on every row — see the methodology

🧭 Reading the numbers

• value is always quote currency per 1 unit of base currency (base: "EUR", quote: "USD", value: 1.15 means 1 EUR = 1.15 USD).
• State Bank of Vietnam quotes VND per 1 unit of foreign currency (e.g. base: "USD", quote: "VND" means VND per one US dollar).
• Need the other way round? Ask getRate(target, source) and the API inverts or crosses for you, flagged derived: true — never divide a published rate yourself in a compliance workflow.
• rate_type tells you which of the central bank's series a row belongs to (reference here); some publishers print buy/sell or several fixings for the same pair.

🧩 ERP & accounting systems

Loading the official State Bank of Vietnam rate into an accounting system is a supported workflow, not a hack. Step-by-step guides with the direction each system expects:

• Dynamics 365 Business Central — built-in Currency Exchange Rate Service, no code
• Xero · QuickBooks Online · SAP S/4HANA and ECC · Odoo

The same keyed endpoints return ?format=csv, ?format=xml and ?format=xlsx, and accept the key as ?api_key= on the URL for importers that cannot send headers:

curl "https://allratestoday.com/api/v1/central-bank/sbv/latest?format=xml&api_key=art_live_..."

🤖 AI agents

• MCP server: npx -y @allratestoday/central-bank-mcp (stdio) or the hosted endpoint https://allratestoday.com/api/mcp — tools for official rates, history, cross-bank comparison and publication calendars
• Already using the general SDK or MCP server? Since 2026-10-01 @allratestoday/sdk 1.4+ has officialRates('sbv') and @allratestoday/mcp-server 0.6+ has a get_official_rates tool — both return this source's latest table with no key, so you can add it without a second dependency
• Claude Code plugin (no key): /plugin marketplace add AllRates-Today/claude-code-plugin then /plugin install allratestoday@allratestoday — bundles both MCP servers plus an /official-rate sbv ... command
• Machine-readable site guide: llms.txt · for-ai-agents

⚖️ Published vs derived rates

If State Bank of Vietnam does not print a pair directly, the API resolves it from the central bank's own table and says so — official and computed values are never confused:

| method | derived | Meaning | | --- | --- | --- | | published | false | The central bank printed this pair directly | | inverse | true | Computed as 1 ÷ the published opposite direction | | cross | true | Computed via VND from two published rates |

🛡️ Error handling

Errors are thrown as Error with status (HTTP code) and body (the API's JSON error) attached:

try {
  const pair = await getRate('USD', 'XXX', { apiKey: 'art_live_...' });
} catch (err) {
  console.log(err.message); // human-readable reason
  console.log(err.status);  // e.g. 404
}

| Status | Meaning | | ------ | ------- | | — | Missing apiKey (thrown before any request) | | 400 | Malformed date or parameters | | 401 | Invalid API key | | 403 | Endpoint needs a paid plan (historical dates & series) | | 404 | Pair or date range not covered by State Bank of Vietnam | | 429 | Monthly quota exceeded |

🔷 TypeScript

Full definitions ship with the package — no @types install:

import type { LatestRates, PairRate, DatedRates, RateEntry, HistoryQuery, RequestOptions } from 'sbv-exchange-rate';

📦 CommonJS

const { getRate } = require('sbv-exchange-rate');

getRate('USD', 'VND', { apiKey: 'art_live_...' }).then((pair) => console.log(pair.rate));

💡 Quota tips

• Rates change once per business day — cache the published table locally and a small monthly quota goes a long way.
• Every request counts toward your AllRatesToday quota, shared across all AllRatesToday endpoints on your key.
