Open Exchange Rates Overview#

The Open Exchange Rates API provides real-time and historical exchange rates for currencies worldwide, which enables you to retrieve the latest currency data for any purpose like financial reporting, pricing products in multiple currencies, or converting currency for international transactions. In Pipedream, you can tap into this API to create workflows that automate currency-related tasks, enrich data with current exchange rates, and trigger actions based on currency fluctuations.
