Introduction

The Currencies API is used to convert from one currency to another and get exchange rates.

Currency rates are provided by XE and update on a daily basis. Rates are provided together with the timestamp when they were set. By using the Currencies API you agree to XE's Terms of Use.

With the Currencies API you can:

• Retrieve a list of all the convertible currencies.
• Convert amounts between 2 currencies.
• Retrieve the current conversion rate for a pair of currencies.

Before you begin

• To use the Currencies API a site must be upgraded to a Premium Plan.

• The currency converter changes the displayed prices on a site for different currencies but doesn't change the payment currency. The payment is always made in the currency set in a site's Dashboard.

• The currency codes used must exist in the array of supported currencies returned by List Currencies.

Terminology

• XE. A currency converter provider that the Currencies API uses.
• Currency code: A 3-letter ISO-4217 code representing each currency.
