    Our agreements with our FX provider prevent us from offering a general API endpoint for historical exchange rates.

    However, you can access the precise rate used for any transaction directly. When you retrieve a multicurrency invoice, the CurrencyRate field contains the exact rate that was applied, ensuring you can match your financial reports exactly.

    This is pretty important to me for the same reason other people are giving - I'm realising income from different currencies into Xero on the day the income is received (or at least planning to!) and need to use the same exchange rate that Xero will use in external reporting as well so the numbers line up.
