Open Exchange Rates

Retrieve current and historic exchange rates.

Overview

The Open Exchange Rates Data Connector allows you to retrieve current and historic exchange rates between currencies and convert between two currencies using current exchange rates.

Once this has been installed and added to a Form, you can access this Data Connector in the Form's server event scripts using: connectors.verjio.openexchangerates.

  • openexchangerates.latest returns the current exchange rates between a base currency and others.
  • openexchangerates.historical returns the historic exchange rates for a specified date.
  • openexchangerates.convert converts a value from one currency to another, using the current exchange rate.

Code example:

var result = connectors.verjio.openexchangerates.historical('2008-06-01', 'GBP');

For comprehensive information on how to use and develop applications with this Data Connector please refer to the Support section.
