Get the €STR as JSON-API
We build a simple API to get the current and historical €STR rates as JSON.
What is the €STR?
The €STR (Euro Short-Term Rate) stands as a crucial interest rate in Europe, delivered by the European Central Bank (ECB). It symbolizes the expense of acquiring funds for ultra-brief periods, often overnight. The €STR carries significant importance, functioning as a yardstick for loan interest rates, shaping the accessibility of funds for banks and businesses. The Euro Short-Term Rate has been assigned the international securities identification number (ISIN) EU000A2X2A25. Its variations influence economic judgments and policies in the Eurozone, where reduced €STR rates point to more economical borrowing, and elevated rates indicate heightened borrowing expenditures.
