Resolved Factoring issue with USD/UGX (Ugandan Shilling) rate on 11 September 2020

We are currently experiencing an issue with USD/UGX (Ugandan Shilling) currency rates, which is also affecting other currency pairs with UGX. The USD/UGX rate is currently reporting at approximately 37.06, instead of the correct value of approximately 3,706. We are working with our data contributors to identify and resolve this issue as soon as possible. Other currency rates that do not involve the UGX symbol are not affected.

Resolved Root CA certificate expiry

We are currently investigating an issue affecting a number of clients, which appears to be the result of the expiry of the AddTrust External CA Root (root certificate) on 30 May 2020. While our SSL certificate is valid until 5 January 2021, and our API instances and website are fully operational at present, clients that are affected by this issue may receive "Certificate expired" errors on attempting to connect to our API. We are currently working to identify which clients may be affected by this issue, and the steps that are required to remedy it. We will update this notice as soon as we have any further information. Please contact [email protected] if you experience any issues connecting to our service.

Resolved Routine maintenance causing service outage

We are monitoring a minor service outage occurring on the openexchangerates.org API and website on Saturday afternoon. This began at approximately 15:30 UTC and was caused by scheduled database maintenance. Requests may receive "Service Unavailable" errors while this is occurring. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

Resolved Issue with KRW (South Korean Won) rate multiplication

We are investigating an issue affecting KRW (South Korean Won) rates available via our latest.json API endpoint on Sunday evening, during which clients may have received rates at a ratio of 1:100. We have put a temporary solution in place, and will publish more details as they become available.

Resolved Inverted rates for some digital currencies

Dear clients, In an issue related to yesterday's changes, certain alternative digital currency rates – including DASH, STR, XMR and XRP (but not including BTC, LTC and ETH) – were published as inverted prices throughout the night. This was due to a provider error, which has now been resolved, and we do not anticipate further related issues. Going forward, we are working on broad improvements to our line-up of digital currencies, which will enable us to feature new popular digital assets and a wider range and granularity of information. Please contact us at [email protected] with any questions or concerns.
