18-Feb-24

detailimage

Both Google Search and Yahoo! allows you to check current conversion rates of major currencies all over the world


1) Google exchange rate query (parsed)

Request: http://rate-exchange.appspot.com/currency?from=USD&to=EUR

Response:

{"to": "EUR", "rate": 0.76911244400000001, "from": "USD"}

Here's another JSON(P) API based on the Google API :
http://rate-exchange.appspot.com/currency?from=USD&to=EUR&q=1

 

2) Yahoo finance API

Request: http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?e=.csv&f=sl1d1t1&s=USDINR=X

This CSV is being used by a jQuery plugin called Curry. Might be useful if you need more than just a CSV.

Yahoo Query Language lets you get a whole bunch of currencies at once in XML or JSON. The data updates by the second (whereas the European Central Bank has day old data), and stops in the weekend. Doesn't require any kind of sign up.
