There's a bunch that can do that.. if you just want the exchange rates and don't care about the bid/ask pricing -
Free API (no usage cap) to pull the daily exchange rates:
https://github.com/fawazahmed0/currency-apiExample json from the api with USD as the base currency:
https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/fawazahmed0/currency-api@1/latest/currencies/usd.json
Wordpress widget (In case you're already using wordpress):
https://wordpress.org/plugins/exchange-rates-widget/
HTML/JS script from the same guy who made the wordpress widget:
https://currencyrate.today/exchangerates-widget
For the bid/ask pricing you'll need to pay for that data. There's a bunch of companies out there (google "forex bid and ask api") that provide it, some with a free tier, others not so much. If you don't need it to be updated in real-time you could probably get away with just caching the results + only calling the api to refresh the data once every X hours. Pricing wise they're all over the place (most a few hundred/month because they offer a shit-ton of other forex data in the api) but the cheapest i've seen is still $25/month for 5k api requests/day - https://1forge.com
There is a "free" widget you can setup & use on your site but unless you have a paid account their branding is at the bottom:

Or just scrape this bad boy and throw whatever results you want into a table:
