Response behavior and edge cases

Collections return data and meta with page, limit, total, and next_page.

Each release contains id, family, label, revision, effective_from, effective_until, sha256, parser_version, accepted, and nullable source_url. Effective intervals include effective_from and exclude effective_until. Multiple accepted revisions may cover one date; pricing selects the latest applicable revision.

Historical comparisons

Use effective dates from this collection to request historical rates, then compare the returned amounts. Store the rate's release and request include=sources when you need the exact source rows and hashes.

The service date selects data; it does not pin a revision. Explicit release selection is not supported. Unaccepted imports are never listed.
