What is the SUNAT Exchange Rate (apis.net.pe) API?

apis.net.pe republishes the SUNAT official exchange rate as a free JSON API with no key. It returns the buying and selling rate between the Peruvian sol and the US dollar for the current or a specified date.

SUNAT is Peru's tax authority, and the rate it publishes is the one Peruvian invoices and tax filings are converted at. That makes this a compliance number rather than a market number: it changes once a day, it is what an auditor will check against, and a live market quote is the wrong thing to substitute for it however much fresher it looks.

The response is deliberately tiny — five fields, no envelope, no pagination. The one operational quirk is that requesting a `fecha` SUNAT has not published yet returns HTTP 404 rather than an empty result, so a job that always asks for today will fail on weekends, Peruvian holidays and early mornings. Omitting `fecha` entirely returns the latest published rate and sidesteps the whole problem.

Common errors and how to fix them

404 with a `fecha`

SUNAT has not published a rate for that date.

Fix: Weekends, Peruvian holidays and today-before-publication all 404. Omit `fecha` for the latest, or step back a working day.

429

Per-IP throttling.

Fix: The rate changes daily at most. Cache it for the day rather than fetching per request.

Fields missing

You called a different endpoint on the same host.

Fix: Only the exchange rate endpoint is key-free; the RUC and DNI lookups on apis.net.pe require a token.

SUNAT Exchange Rate (apis.net.pe) API — frequently asked questions

What is the SUNAT exchange rate?

It is the official rate published by Peru's tax authority and used to convert foreign-currency amounts in invoices and tax filings. It updates once per working day and is a compliance reference, not a live market quote.

Is this API free?

The exchange rate endpoint is free and needs no key. Other endpoints on the same host, such as company lookups, do require a token.

Why do I get a 404 for today's date?

SUNAT publishes on working days and not instantly at midnight. Requesting an unpublished date returns 404 rather than an empty body — omit `fecha` to get the most recent published rate instead.

What is the difference between compra and venta?

`compra` is the buying rate and `venta` the selling rate. Which applies depends on the direction of the transaction being converted; Peruvian accounting rules specify which to use in each case.
