Foreign exchange rates and currency conversion JSON API
Write custom Node.js code and use any of the 400k+ npm packages available. Refer to the Pipedream Node docs to learn more.
The Fixer API provides real-time exchange rate data for various currencies, making it invaluable for financial applications, data analysis, and e-commerce platforms. Within Pipedream, you can harness this API to create automated workflows that trigger on schedules or events, process currency data, and connect with other services to perform actions such as updating pricing models, sending alerts, or syncing financial data across platforms.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
fixer_io: {
type: "app",
app: "fixer_io",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://data.fixer.io/api/latest`,
headers: {
"Accept": `application/json`,
},
params: {
access_key: `${this.fixer_io.$auth.api_key}`,
},
})
},
})
Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.
This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json
file or running npm install
.
Below is an example of installing the axios
package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios
package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:
// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
export default defineComponent({
async run({ steps, $ }) {
// Return data to use it in future steps
return steps.trigger.event
},
})
