The published central bank rates behind tax filings, customs valuations, audits, and compliant invoicing — not market estimates, but the numbers Bank of Botswana itself prints, every business day.**\n\n## 🚀 Why this client?\n\n- 🏛️ **Official published rates** — Bank of Botswana's own table, with the publisher's own `rate_date` on every response\n- 📅 **History from 2026** — this source publishes only its current table, so the archive builds forward from the day we started collecting\n- 🔀 **Published vs derived, always flagged** — computed inverse/cross pairs carry `derived: true`, never mixed with official prints\n- ⚡ **Zero dependencies** — pure ESM + CJS over global `fetch`; Node 18+, Bun, Deno, and edge runtimes\n- 🔷 **Type-safe** — full TypeScript definitions shipped with the package\n- 🧾 **Compliance-grade metadata** — `rate_type`, publication date, and source disclaimer on every response\n\n> **Official rate, not mid-market:** every value here is a number Bank of Botswana 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](https://allratestoday.com/docs/) or [`@allratestoday/sdk`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@allratestoday/sdk). The two can diverge by several percent.\n\n## ⚡ Try it without a key\n\nThe latest Bank of Botswana table is also served keyless, CORS-open and edge-cached, for evaluation, embeds and AI agents:\n\n```bash\ncurl \"https://allratestoday.com/api/open/central-bank/bob?source=USD&target=BWP\"\n```\n\n```js\nconst r = await fetch('https://allratestoday.com/api/open/central-bank/bob').then((x) => x.json());\nconsole.log(r.rate_date, r.rates.length); // the central bank's latest published table, no key\n```\n\nThe 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.\n\n## 🔑 Get your API key\n\nGet a free API key at [allratestoday.com/register](https://allratestoday.com/register) — no credit card required. Latest rates are on every plan, including free.\n\n## 📦 Installation\n\n```bash\nnpm install @allratestoday/bob-exchange-rate\n```\n\n```bash\nyarn add @allratestoday/bob-exchange-rate\n```\n\n```bash\npnpm add @allratestoday/bob-exchange-rate\n```\n\nRequires Node 18+ (global `fetch`); also runs on Bun, Deno and edge runtimes. Scoped mirror of [`bob-exchange-rate`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/bob-exchange-rate) — same code, same versions.\n\n## 🏁 Quick start\n\n```js\nimport { getRate } from '@allratestoday/bob-exchange-rate';\n\nconst pair = await getRate('USD', 'BWP', { apiKey: 'art_live_...' });\nconsole.log(pair.rate, pair.rate_date); // the official Bank of Botswana rate, on the central bank's own date\n```\n\n## 📚 API reference\n\n- [Latest pair rate](#latest-pair-rate) — one pair from the latest published table\n- [Full published table](#full-published-table) — everything the central bank printed, in one call\n- [Table for a date](#table-for-a-date) — the official table for an invoice or filing date\n- [Daily time series](#daily-time-series) — one pair across a date range\n\n---\n\n### Latest pair rate\n\nFree plan and up. Pairs the central bank does not print directly are resolved from its table and flagged (see *Published vs derived rates* below).\n\n```js\nconst pair = await getRate('USD', 'BWP', { apiKey: 'art_live_...' });\n```\n\n**Response:**\n\n```javascript\n{\n  bank: 'bob',\n  name: 'Bank of Botswana',\n  rate_date: '2026-10-06',   // Bank of Botswana's own publication date\n  source: 'USD',\n  target: 'BWP',\n  rate: 13.4409,\n  rate_type: 'reference',\n  derived: true,\n  method: 'inverse',  // computed from the published BWP/USD print\n  disclaimer: 'Official rates as published by the named central bank.

The official table for any date since 2026 — 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.\n\n```js\nimport { getRatesForDate } from '@allratestoday/bob-exchange-rate';\n\nconst day = await getRatesForDate('2026-06-30', { apiKey: 'art_live_...' });\n// Optionally narrow to one pair:\nconst one = await getRatesForDate('2026-06-30', { apiKey: 'art_live_...', source: 'USD', target: 'BWP' });\n```\n\n**Response:**\n\n```javascript\n{\n  bank: 'bob',\n  requested_date: '2026-06-30',\n  rate_date: '2026-06-30',                // the date actually published\n  published_on_requested_date: true,      // false when a weekend/holiday fell back\n  rates: [ /* the full table for that date */ ],\n  disclaimer: '…'\n}\n```\n\n### Daily time series\n\nPaid plans. One resolved rate per publication date — ready for charting, revaluation runs, or audit workpapers.\n\n```js\nimport { getHistory } from '@allratestoday/bob-exchange-rate';\n\nconst series = await getHistory(\n  { source: 'USD', target: 'BWP', from: '2026-01-01', to: '2026-10-06' },\n  { apiKey: 'art_live_...' }\n);\n```\n\n**Response:**\n\n```javascript\n{\n  bank: 'bob',\n  source: 'USD',\n  target: 'BWP',\n  from: '2026-01-01',\n  to: '2026-10-06',\n  count: 152,\n  rates: [\n    // one entry per publication date\n    { date: '2026-10-06', rate: 13.4409, rate_type: 'reference', derived: true, method: 'inverse' },\n    // …\n  ],\n  disclaimer: '…'\n}\n```\n\nPass `{ symbol: 'USD' }` instead of `source`/`target` to get the raw published rows for one currency (all rate types, no pair resolution).\n\n---\n\n## 🗺️ Currencies covered\n\nBank of Botswana currently publishes rates covering **7 currencies** against the BWP (as of the latest table):\n\n🇨🇳 `CNH` · 🇪🇺 `EUR` · 🇬🇧 `GBP` · 🇯🇵 `JPY` · 🇺🇸 `USD` · `XDR` · 🇿🇦 `ZAR`\n\n## 🏛️ Source\n\nThe Bank of Botswana publishes daily reference rates for the pula against seven currencies, with the pula managed under a crawling-band peg to a basket of the South African rand and the IMF's SDR. The bank quotes foreign currency per pula — this feed serves both directions — and its daily table is the official reference for Botswana's banks and diamond-led trade.\n\n- Publisher's own page: [Exchange rates](https://www.bankofbotswana.bw) · [www.bankofbotswana.bw](https://www.bankofbotswana.bw)\n- Publication: every business day; the exact schedule, freshness status and any current delay are on the [Bank of Botswana rates page](https://allratestoday.com/central-bank-rates-api/bob/)\n- Values are stored unmodified, with the publisher's own `rate_date` on every row — see the [methodology](https://allratestoday.com/official-rates-methodology/)\n\n## 🧭 Reading the numbers\n\n- `value` is always **quote currency per 1 unit of base currency** (`base: \"EUR\", quote: \"USD\", value: 1.15` means 1 EUR = 1.15 USD).\n- Bank of Botswana quotes **foreign currency per 1 BWP** (e.g. `base: \"BWP\", quote: \"USD\"` means USD per one BWP).\n- 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.\n- `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.\n\n## 🧩 ERP & accounting systems\n\nLoading the official Bank of Botswana rate into an accounting system is a supported workflow, not a hack.
