Benchmark Rate is a tool for retrieving current risk-free reference rates that replaced LIBOR. It returns rates for SOFR (US), SONIA (UK), ESTR (EU), TONA (Japan), and SARON (Switzerland).
The Benchmark Rate API provides a simple, reliable way to integrate benchmark rate functionality into your applications. Built for developers who need production-ready benchmark rate capabilities without the complexity of building from scratch.
Quick Start
Using JavaScript
async function callBenchmarkRateAPI() {
try {
const params = new URLSearchParams({
rate: 'SOFR'
});
const response = await fetch(`https://api.apiverve.com/v1/benchmarkrate?${params}`, {
method: 'GET',
headers: {
'x-api-key': 'YOUR_API_KEY_HERE'
}
});
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error:', error);
}
}
callBenchmarkRateAPI();Using cURL
curl -X GET "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/benchmarkrate?rate=SOFR" \
-H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY_HERE"Get your API key: https://apiverve.com
