Anshul,

The free version only allows EUR to be the base currency. I think there's a function to do a three-way conversion, using EUR as the base currency. There is also a function to return all the exchange rates, although the base currency will be always EUR - free version again.

Please share what you've done with us, so we can help.

Cheers!

Hello Anshul,

Which scenarios have you tried? What are the issues you're running into?

I've wrote an article about this component: https://itnext.io/currencies-in-practice-or-the-story-of-implementing-a-currency-converter-in-outsystems-367c90723aa3

Cheers!

Hi Armando,


I have read the above mentioned post and I have used the CalculateConversions function but the results returned by this function are incorrect.

What I want to do: I want to convert one currency to another by providing a base currency. Could you please guide me on how that can be done using the Fixer forge component.Also, I want to get a list of all the Exchange Rate.
