Scheduled

Dear clients,

On 31 March 2017, we will remove four officially deprecated currencies from our 'latest.json' API. These are:

– Estonian Kroon (ISO currency code: EEK), succeeded by the Euro on 1 January 2015.
– Maltese Lira (ISO currency code: MTL), succeeded by the Euro on 1 January 2008.
– Lithuanian Litas (ISO currency code: LTL), succeeded by the Euro on 1 January 2015.
– Latvian Lats (ISO currency code: LVL), succeeded by the Euro on 1 January 2014.

These currencies were convertible for a short period of time following their replacement by the Euro and were available in our live API for historical reference.

They will continue to be available in our 'historical' API and this change will not involve any outage or downtime.

You can learn more about each of these currencies below:

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, comments or concerns about this change.
