What the data contains

The Czech National Bank declares exchange rates of the Czech koruna against commonly traded currencies every working day at around 2.30 p.m.; each rate is valid for that day and any following weekend or public holiday. The CNB publishes the fixing through its keyless CNB API. This source reads the current fixing on each daily run and makes one record per currency, keyed by the ISO currency code, with the country, currency name, the amount the rate refers to (1, 100 or 1,000 units), the rate in koruna for that amount, the date it is valid for and the CNB's running fixing number for the year. A monitor reports each new fixing per currency. The data describes exchange rates and contains no personal data. SourceFinch is independent of the CNB.

Fields and types

Every record has these fields. The key field currency_code identifies a record across runs, so changes are reported field by field.

Evidence behind every value

  • Each run keeps the publisher's exact response, hashed with SHA-256. This sample came from a response with hash 619e5ed6175c2b98d1ec15ce0256ae6e025fe0a0313b1fee5d3d1ea12d32f084.
  • Every value records where it came from in that response: a JSON Pointer into the retained capture.
  • Each run gets a signed manifest (Ed25519) timestamped by an RFC 3161 authority: this run's manifest hash is 0bda95f5344a2ec7994e5d4ac248700428241439c68d1b6ae47a8d1c372805e7, timestamped October 12, 2026.
  • The compliance state at capture is recorded with the evidence: robots.txt hash and verdict, AI-preference signals, crawler identity and the usage rights below.
  • Download any run as an evidence bundle (WACZ) and check it offline, without trusting SourceFinch: sourcefinch verify-bundle run.wacz.
