Moldova Bank Exchange Rates

What does Moldova Bank Exchange Rates do?

This actor scrapes live commercial exchange rates from the four largest banks in Moldova — MAIB, MICB, Victoriabank — plus the National Bank of Moldova (BNM) reference rate. For each (bank × currency pair × rate type) it returns one normalized JSON record with buy, sell, mid and spread fields, ready to plug into a comparison page, fintech app, or dashboard. There is no public aggregator API for Moldovan bank rates — this actor is the simplest way to get them.

Try a one-click run from the Apify Console, then export results as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or call the Apify API to run on demand.

Why use Moldova Bank Exchange Rates?

• Commercial rates, not just the central-bank reference. BNM publishes a daily reference rate; bank counter rates can differ by 1–4%.
• Cash vs card rates as separate records. Useful for buyers comparing in-branch tourist rates against card / transfer rates.
• One JSON shape across all banks. No per-bank quirks to handle downstream.
• Apify-managed schedule, monitoring, proxy rotation. Run every 6 hours out of the box; if a selector breaks, you'll see it in the run log.
• Use cases:
  • Remittance / fintech firms showing "where to exchange best."
  • Travel and booking platforms that price in MDL.
  • Personal-finance comparison sites in Moldova and Romania.

How to use Moldova Bank Exchange Rates

1. Open the Actor in the Apify Console.
2. (Optional) Edit the input — by default all four banks and the five most common pairs are scraped.
3. Click Start.
4. When the run finishes (~5 s), open the Dataset tab.
5. Export as JSON / CSV, or call the Dataset API URL shown in the run summary.

Pricing — How much does it cost to scrape Moldovan bank rates?

Pay-per-result, $0.50 per 1000 records ($0.0005 / record). A typical run with default input produces 25–30 records, so each run costs roughly $0.013–$0.015. Running every 6 hours for a month: about $1.80. The Apify free tier covers many runs.

Tips

• Narrow banks and pairs to cut record count and cost.
• Schedule every 6 hours rather than every hour — bank rates do not move that fast.
• Use use_apify_proxy: true (the default) to avoid rate-limiting from any single IP.
• The actor is idempotent — re-running with the same input returns the latest snapshot, not historical data. For a time series, schedule + persist downstream.

FAQ, disclaimers and support

Exchange rates are scraped from public bank websites and may lag the bank's quoted rate by several minutes. Always verify with the bank before transacting. This actor is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of the banks listed.
