The Dollar History Chart plots the exchange rate of a selected Argentine dollar type over time using an interactive line chart. You can switch between dollar types and zoom into different time windows to analyze rate trends and volatility.

How to use it

1

Select a dollar type

Use the dropdown or selector to choose which dollar type to chart — for example, Blue, Oficial, or MEP.
2

Choose a time range

Select how far back you want to look. The chart updates immediately when you change the range.
3

Read the chart

Hover over any point on the line to see the exact rate for that date. The Y-axis shows the rate in ARS per USD.

Chart behavior

Missing data handling

If the API returns gaps in the time series, the chart fills them using the last known valid value. This prevents visual breaks in the line.

Color-coded datasets

Each dollar type has a distinct line color so you can distinguish them if multiple series are displayed simultaneously.

Data source

Historical rates are fetched from:
GET https://api.argentinadatos.com/v1/cotizaciones/dolares/{casa}
Replace {casa} with the dollar type identifier (e.g., blue, oficial). The API returns a time series of daily buy and sell rates for the requested type.
Data availability varies by dollar type. Some types have shorter histories than others. The All time range will display whatever history the API has for the selected type.
