Use Open Exchange Rates in Okou

Use Open Exchange Rates, the openexchangerates.org JSON API, to retrieve live and historical foreign-exchange rates, convert amounts between currencies, list supported currencies, read time-series and OHLC data, and check account usage.

Once connected, supported Open Exchange Rates actions can become steps in a reusable workflow alongside the other services your team uses. Run the workflow once, on a schedule, or when an event starts it.

What you can do with Open Exchange Rates

  • Retrieve the latest exchange rates for a base currency. Every request consumes the account's monthly request quota.

  • Retrieve exchange rates across a date range. Enterprise and Unlimited plans only; each requested day consumes the account's monthly request quota.
  • Convert an amount between two currencies at the latest rates. Unlimited plan only; every request consumes the account's monthly request quota.
