  title: ExchangeRate-API Latest vs Historical
  summary: Compare a base currency's latest rates against its rates on a past date.
  description: >-
    A rate-comparison flow that pulls the latest exchange rates for a base
    currency and then retrieves the historical rates for that same base currency
    on a specified past date, enabling a side-by-side comparison of how rates
    have moved. Historical data requires a Pro, Business, or Volume plan. Each
    step inlines its full request, including the API key path parameter, so the
    flow can be read and executed on its own.
