Euro (EUR)
The euro is the second-most-traded currency and the only one issued by a monetary union of independent states rather than a single treasury. Its external value is set by the market; its internal value is set by the European Central Bank.

Where the Euro circulates
For a product that quotes prices in Europe, EUR is usually the display currency and USD the accounting one — which makes the EUR/USD pair the most-watched number in the catalogue.
- Consumer pricing across the euro area, where a single currency removes conversion from the checkout.
- Corporate reporting for exporters who invoice in dollars but account in euros.
- The most liquid pair on the market, EUR/USD, which moves on rate differentials and growth expectations.
- Anchor currency for several European currencies that are pegged or closely managed against it.
How it is quoted, and what to watch
The euro is a young currency by reserve standards, so long historical series often begin at its introduction rather than decades earlier. If you build a chart that reaches back before that, state the cut-off rather than silently starting midway.
Reading EUR from the API
Ask for EUR as the base and every quote in the response is re-expressed against it — the reading, the catalogue and the account balance all arrive together.
Crosses are the quotient of two published quotes, so a pair you need but we do not list is still one division away.

How do I get EUR rates from this API?
Append ?base=EUR to either endpoint and every quote in the response is re-expressed against the euro, including cross rates you would otherwise calculate yourself.
Do all euro-area countries use the same euro?
Yes — one currency, one central bank, and member states do not issue separate euros. Some non-members use it unilaterally, which is why the currency's footprint is wider than the euro area itself.
