aioopenexchangerates
Fetch rates from openexchangerates with aiohttp.
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you need an async Open Exchange Rates client and are comfortable with pre-alpha software. Low install friction, permissive license, and active maintenance make it safe to try. However, verify API key requirements and rate limits with the Open Exchange Rates service before committing to production use.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Python 3.13 or later; an active Open Exchange Rates API key is needed to fetch data.
- Low install friction; pure Python wheel with two runtime dependencies (aiohttp and mashumaro).
- Actively maintained with recent commits; pre-alpha status suggests early-stage maturity.

What it is and what it does
aioopenexchangerates is an async wrapper around the Open Exchange Rates API, built on aiohttp for non-blocking HTTP requests. It provides a Client interface to fetch currency exchange rates without blocking your event loop.
The package is designed for developers building async Python applications that need exchange rate data. It handles the HTTP communication and response parsing, letting you focus on your business logic. Being pre-alpha, it is actively developed but not yet at a stable release.
Use it for
- Fetch exchange rates in async web applications or microservices
- Build currency conversion features into async fintech tools
- Poll exchange rates periodically in background tasks without blocking
- Integrate forex data into async data pipelines or dashboards
