A rate at the moment you need it

The rate as it stands when the job runs, not as it stood the last time somebody refreshed a cached figure.

What it is.

One reference conversion, quoted per call. A monthly plan you use twice costs more than the year of calls it replaces.

The input

What you send

A currency pair, and an amount if you want it converted.

The output

What comes back

  • A reference rate, with its timestamp
  • The converted amount
  • The source the rate came from
The reader

Who reaches for it

Anyone pricing across currencies occasionally, and agents quoting a figure a person will act on.

Instead of.

A market data plan priced for a trading desk, for a handful of conversions a week.

Per request

The price is set by the provider and shown in euros before anything runs. Nothing renews, and a month you ask for nothing costs nothing.

You get

The result

A reference rate, with its timestamp, and the rest of the record with it.
