About the Mortgage Rate API

Mortgage Rate provides current and historical mortgage rate data from 1971 to present. The data comes from Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey, which has tracked mortgage rates weekly since the early 1970s. Use this for mortgage calculations, market analysis, and financial planning.

What people use it for

Mortgage Calculators: Use the Mortgage Rate API to get current rates for mortgage payment calculators
Market Analysis: Track historical mortgage rate trends to analyze housing market conditions
Financial Planning: Help users plan home purchases by showing current mortgage rate environment
Rate Comparison: Compare 30-year vs 15-year mortgage rates for refinancing decisions

Ways to call it

One endpoint, many ways in — REST with JSON, XML, YAML and CSV, plus GraphQL and an MCP interface for AI agents.

JSON: Default REST response
XML: Markup format
YAML: Human-readable

GraphQL: Query language
MCP: For AI agents

Questions.

Common questions about the Mortgage Rate API.

Read the docs →

What does the Mortgage Rate API do?

How do I authenticate Mortgage Rate API requests?

Pass your API key in the x-api-key header over HTTPS. One key works across all 300+ APIVerve APIs — there are no per-endpoint credentials.

How much does the Mortgage Rate API cost?

Each call spends 2 credits from your shared pool. The free tier includes 200 credits every month, and paid plans add more headroom.

How fast is the Mortgage Rate API?

Response time depends on the endpoint — the p50 through p99 latency for this API is published on this page. Requests are served over HTTPS through a global edge network.

What response formats does the Mortgage Rate API support?

JSON by default, plus XML and YAML via the format parameter. GraphQL and an MCP interface for AI agents are available across the catalog.

What HTTP method does the Mortgage Rate API use?

GET over HTTPS, following standard REST conventions with a consistent { status, error, data } response envelope.

Request parameters — GET /v1/mortgagerate

Sent in the query string. Premium parameters are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them. Anything not listed here is dropped rather than passed through.

Required

Parameter	Type	Example	Description
`type`Required	string	`30year`	The mortgage type `30year15year`

Optional

Parameter	Type	Example	Description
`year`OptionalPremium	integer	`2023`	Year to retrieve rates for (1971-present). Requires month parameter. range 1971-2030
`month`OptionalPremium	integer	`6`	Month to retrieve rates for (1-12). Required when year is specified. range 1-12

Example request

1
2

curl "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/mortgagerate?type=30year&year=2023&month=6" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Authentication

Send your key in the x-api-key header. That is the only auth step — no token exchange, and no per-endpoint scope to configure.

Header	When	Value
`x-api-key`Required	Every request	Your API key. Header names are case-insensitive, so `X-API-Key` is the same header.
`Authorization`Alternate	Instead of the above	`Bearer <key>` — for clients that only expose bearer auth. Resolves to the same account and the same billing.

401 is the only auth verdict

A 401 means the key is missing, invalid or expired. A 403 means the key is valid but not permitted here — blocked by a key restriction or an IP allow-list. Running out of credits is a 429.

Response — GET /v1/mortgagerate

Every APIVerve endpoint returns the same three top-level keys, so one response handler covers your whole integration: status, error and data. Only data changes shape.

Sample response

{
  "status": "ok",
  "error": null,
  "data": {
    "rateType": "30year",
    "name": "30-Year Fixed Rate Mortgage",
    "term": 30,
    "type": "fixed",
    "country": "US",
    "year": 2023,
    "month": 6,
    "count": 4,
    "rates": [
      {
        "week": "2023-06-01",
        "rate": 6.79
      },
      {
        "week": "2023-06-08",
        "rate": 6.71
      },
      {
        "week": "2023-06-15",
        "rate": 6.69
      },
      {
        "week": "2023-06-22",
        "rate": 6.67
      }
    ],
    "change1w": -0.02,
    "changeDirection": "down",
    "previousRate": 6.69,
    "previousDate": "2023-06-15"
  }
}

Response fields

Paths are relative to data. Premium fields are absent rather than zeroed on plans that do not include them, so check for presence instead of comparing to 0.

Field	Type	Example	Description
`rateType`	string	`"30year"`	Mortgage rate type identifier (30year or 15year)
`name`	string	`"30-Year Fixed Rate Mortgage"`	Human-readable description of mortgage type
`term`	number	`30`	Loan term in years (15 or 30)
`type`	string	`"fixed"`	Rate type classification (fixed or adjustable)
`country`	string	`"US"`	Country code where rates apply (US)
`year`	number	`2023`	Year of the mortgage rate data
`month`	number	`6`	Month of the mortgage rate data (1-12)
`count`	number	`4`	Number of weekly rate entries in response
`rates`	array[4]		Array of weekly mortgage rate data entries
`week`	string	`"2023-06-01"`	Week date in YYYY-MM-DD format
`rate`	number	`6.79`	Mortgage interest rate as percentage
`change1w`Premium	number	`-0.02`	Rate change from previous week in percentage points
`changeDirection`	string	`"down"`	Direction of weekly change: up, down, or unchanged
`previousRate`Premium	number	`6.69`	Previous week's mortgage interest rate
`previousDate`Premium	string	`"2023-06-15"`	Previous week's date in YYYY-MM-DD format

Response headers

Every response carries your balance, so your own code always knows where it stands without polling anything. All four are exposed to browsers through CORS.

Header	What it carries
`x-api-remaining-credits`	Credits left in the current cycle
`x-api-credits-used`	Credits spent in the current cycle
`x-api-max-credits`	The allowance for the cycle
`x-api-version`	Version of the endpoint that answered

Errors

Read the HTTP status first, then error for the specific reason. The body names the parameter that has to change.

Status	Meaning	What to do
`400`	Input was rejected	Read `error`; it names the parameter that has to change.
`401`	Key missing or invalid	Check the header name and the key value.
`403`	Key valid, but not permitted here	A key restriction or an IP allow-list — never a bad key.
`429`	Rate limited, or out of credits	Read `error` to tell them apart, then back off or top up.

What a call costs — 2 credits per call

Credits are shared across every APIVerve API — one balance, one key, one bill. Failed requests never count against it, so a rejected input costs nothing.

Plan	Per month	Credits	Mortgage Rate calls	Per 1,000 calls
Free	Free	200	100	Free
Starter	$29.99	200,000	100,000	$0.30
Pro	$99.99	1,000,000	500,000	$0.20
Mega	$299.99	4,000,000	2,000,000	$0.15

Calls are what the credits buy at this API's rate — spend them here, on any of the other APIs, or across both. Nothing is reserved per endpoint.
