README

This package can be used to retrieve historical currency exchange rate data from various sources. The main purpose is to provide a unified interface to retrieve data from different sources. Currently, the following sources are supported:

• Frankfurter
• CurrencyBeacon (requires free API key)
• A mock source that can be used for testing purposes

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require kantorge/laravel-currency-exchange-rates

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="laravel-currency-exchange-rates-config"

Configuration

Using CurrencyBeacon

CurrencyBeacon requires an API key. You can get a free API key at https://currencybeacon.com/.

Add your API key to your .env file:

CURRENCY_BEACON_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

To use CurrencyBeacon as your default provider, set it in the published config file:

'default_provider' => 'currencybeacon',

Or specify it when creating the client:

$currencyApi = CurrencyExchangeRates::create('currencybeacon');

Usage

Get a new instance of the CurrencyExchangeRates class with the default source, as defined in the config file.

use Kantorge\CurrencyExchangeRates\Facades\CurrencyExchangeRates;
$currencyApi = CurrencyExchangeRates::create();

View the list of available currencies

// [ 'EUR', 'USD', 'GBP', ...]
$currencyApi->getSupportedCurrencies();

Get the exchange rate for a specific date range, with a specific base currency and target currencies

// [
//     '2021-01-01' => [
//         'EUR' => 1,
//         'USD' => 1.23,
//     ],
// ]
$currencyApi->getTimeSeries(
    new Carbon('2021-01-01'),
    new Carbon('2021-01-01'),
    'HUF',
    ['EUR', 'USD']
);
