Frankfurter is an open-source API that provides daily currency exchange rates collected from institutional sources. Developers use it to retrieve currency data, convert amounts, or run their own instance with Docker. The catalogue entries are add-ons for working with the API.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00057 | $0.03102 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00028 | $0.01551 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00011 | $0.00620 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00310 |
Grade A, and why
implementing-providers scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Adding a New Provider
Checklist for adding a new exchange rate data provider. Each step references an existing provider as a pattern to follow.
Before You Start
- Identify the API endpoint and authentication requirements
- Verify the API is accessible — make a test request and confirm you get a 200 response with valid data. If the API returns 403, times out, or is otherwise inaccessible, stop here. Do not proceed with a hand-crafted cassette or fake data.
- Read the API docs — understand pagination, date filtering, and rate limiting. Some APIs require specific params for date ranges (e.g., HKMA needs
choose=end_of_dayforfrom/toto work). Getting this right avoids downloading the entire dataset on every request. - Confirm the base currency and available quote currencies
- Check the publish schedule (timezone, frequency, days of week)
- Determine the earliest available date for historical data (goes in
coverage_startin the seed file)
Go/no-go: does the provider backfill meaningfully?
Before writing code, confirm the provider has a usable historical archive. If not, don't implement it — forward-only providers accumulate permanent gaps each year and the maintenance cost outweighs the value.
Stop and skip the provider if either of these is true:
- Live page only, no historical endpoint. Every year (or whenever the scheduler misses a window) leaves a permanent hole. Even a fresh deploy is forward-only from day one.
- Archive exists but lags badly. An archive that's months behind the live page means anything between the last archive entry and "now" is permanently lost if we don't catch it live.
If the provider has a real archive (downloadable history reaching back years, not just the current snapshot), proceed. Note coverage_start from the earliest archive date and continue with the checklist.
Implementation Checklist
1. Adapter class — lib/provider/adapters/<key>.rb
Inherit from Provider::Adapters::Adapter. See any existing adapter for the pattern (e.g. lib/provider/adapters/boi.rb).
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

implementing-providers is a skill published in the GitHub repository lineofflight/frankfurter (1,838 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 3,102 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
