Currency API

Currency API

The Currency API automates the procurement of current exchange rates and documents source, authentication, target currency and synchronization time.

Why this point is crucial for key users

Automation creates topicality - but only an understood interface creates trust. The key user connects technical sources and technical course logic.

Fields and settings at a glance

• API URL: Address of the course service.
• Name: Meaningful name of the interface.
• Authentication type: Procedure expected by the service.
• Authentication user: User ID if required.
• Authentication secret: Protected password or token.
• Authentication header: Name of the HTTP header for the credentials.
• Currency: Target or reference currency of the synchronization.
• Retrieval time: Planned time of course retrieval.
• Last access: Time of the last synchronization carried out.

How to prepare for the process safely

1. Check documentation, availability and course direction of the service.
2. Maintain URL, authentication and currency.
3. Set a reasonable synchronization time.
4. Retrieve quotes and compare a value to the source.

Check before sharing

• No access data is publicly documented.
• Last synchronization and error messages are monitored.
• The saved course has the correct direction and date.

What your team gets out of it

Current exchange rates enter the system in a controlled manner, without daily manual maintenance.
