The latest street exchange rate of an emerging-market currency against the US dollar (USDT) from the EMpulse Street FX Index, or the rate on a given day: rate (mid), buy, sell, spread, 1/7/30-day changes, confidence class and a ready citation. Free access is delayed by one day; a Pro key gives the current day.

Daily street rates of a currency between two dates (inclusive, UTC days, at most 400 days per call): rate, buy, sell, confidence per day, plus a summary (first, last, change, low, high). Defaults: the last 30 days up to the latest day of your plan.

Every currency of the EMpulse Street FX Index with its status (active, or coverage in progress while market sources are being added), the confidence class and the number of sources behind the latest day, coverage since, and whether your plan covers it.

How far the street rate of a currency is from its official central-bank rate: official rate and its publication day, street rate, premium in percent, 7-day average and 30-day maximum. Pro and Enterprise keys.

Early warning from the street: a none / watch / alert flag per currency when the street market shows stress (a run of weakening days, a 7-day move in the top decile of the currency's own year, a buy–sell spread blow-out), with the rules that fired and the day the episode started. One currency or all. Pro and Enterprise keys.

A dated feed of events that move street FX in emerging markets — devaluations, cash and withdrawal limits, bans of stablecoin services, currency controls, payment outages — each a short quotation with a link to the public source. Filter by country or currency; days back from the latest day of your plan (free: 48-hour delay).

Free level: the free currencies, one day behind. Pro keys of the Rail Health Index: today, every currency, the health index (100 = the rail's own norm), availability, supply.

Every change of status of a payment method class — degraded, outage, back to healthy — over the last days (default 30), newest first, each with a one-line summary ("Bank transfers (pay-ins) in Egypt: degraded since 2026-10-24 14:00 UTC"). Optionally one currency. Pro keys of the Rail Health Index.

Where payment demand in emerging markets is not being served. Without a currency: the ranking of covered markets by the share of demand no rail served, with the trend.
