Foreign Exchange Statistics (FXI) is an official dataset published by the European Central Bank via the ECB Data Portal, providing time series on exchange rates and related foreign exchange indicators for the euro area and other currencies. Data are distributed through the SDMX 2.1 REST API under the FXI dataflow, with a single endpoint serving XML (SDMX-ML), CSV, and JSON formats. Users can extract specific series using a key path along with startPeriod, endPeriod, and lastNObservations filters. The same series can also be browsed and charted interactively on the ECB Data Portal website.Foreign Exchange Statistics (FXI) — official time series from the European Central Bank Data Portal, published as the FXI dataflow over SDMX 2.1 REST.
