Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Currency Exchange Rates Actor This Apify Actor fetches real-time and historical currency exchange rates for **200+ currencies** including cryptocurrencies. ### 🌟 Features - 💱 **200+ currencies** - Fiat currencies, cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, etc.), and metals - 📅 **Historical rates** - Get rates for any past date - 🔄 **Flexible conversions** - Single conversion or all rates at once - 💰 **Amount calculation** - Convert any amount automatically - 🚀 **Blazing fast** - CDN-delivered with automatic fallback - 🆓 **Free & unlimited** - No API keys or rate limits - ⚡ **Auto-fallback** - Built-in fallback mechanism for 99.9% uptime ### 📥 Input The actor accepts the following input parameters: ```json { "from": "usd", "to": "eur", "amount": 100, "date": "latest", "listCurrencies": false } ```` #### Input Parameters | Parameter | Type | Default | Description | |-----------|------|---------|-------------| | **from** | string | "usd" | Source currency code (e.g., usd, eur, btc, eth) - case-insensitive | | **to** | string | null | Target currency code (optional - leave empty for all rates) | | **amount** | number | 1 | Amount to convert | | **date** | string | "latest" | Date in YYYY-MM-DD format or "latest" for current rates | | **listCurrencies** | boolean | false | Get list of all 200+ supported currencies | ### 📤 Output #### Example 1: Single Conversion **Input:** ```json { "from": "usd", "to": "eur", "amount": 100, "date": "latest" } ``` **Output:** ```json { "type": "single_conversion", "from": "USD", "to": "EUR", "date": "2024-03-06", "rate": 0.923456, "amount": 100, "convertedAmount": 92.3456, "message": "100 USD = 92.3456 EUR" } ``` #### Example 2: All Rates for Base Currency **Input:** ```json { "from": "btc", "amount": 1, "date": "latest" } ``` **Output:** ```json { "type": "all_rates", "baseCurrency": "BTC", "date": "2024-03-06", "rates": { "usd": 65432.10, "eur": 60123.45, "gbp": 51234.56, "eth": 23.456, "...": "..." }, "amount": 1, "convertedAmounts": { "USD": 65432.10, "EUR": 60123.45, "GBP": 51234.56, "ETH": 23.456, "...": "..." } } ``` #### Example 3: List All Currencies **Input:** ```json { "listCurrencies": true } ``` **Output:** ```json { "type": "currency_list", "totalCurrencies": 200, "currencies": { "usd": "United States Dollar", "eur": "Euro", "btc": "Bitcoin", "eth": "Ethereum", "gbp": "British Pound Sterling", "...": "..." } } ``` ### 💡 Usage Examples #### Convert USD to EUR ```json { "from": "usd", "to": "eur", "amount": 100 } ``` #### Get Bitcoin price in all currencies ```json { "from": "btc", "amount": 1 } ``` #### Historical rate (USD to GBP on a specific date) ```json { "from": "usd", "to": "gbp", "amount": 500, "date": "2024-01-15" } ``` #### Convert Ethereum to USD ```json { "from": "eth", "to": "usd", "amount": 5 } ``` #### List all supported currencies ```json { "listCurrencies": true } ``` ### 🌐 Supported Currencies **Fiat Currencies:** USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, AUD, CAD, CHF, CNY, INR, and 100+ more **Cryptocurrencies:** BTC, ETH, BNB, XRP, ADA, SOL, DOGE, and many more **Metals & Commodities:** XAU (Gold), XAG (Silver), XPT (Platinum), etc. **Total:** 200+ currencies ### ⚙️ How It Works The actor: - Delivers data via CDN for blazing-fast response - Updates daily with fresh exchange rates - Includes automatic fallback mechanism if primary source fails - Requires no authentication or API keys - Has no rate limits ### 📊 Data Source - **Delivery:** CDN with automatic fallback - **Update Frequency:** Daily - **Coverage:** 200+ currencies including fiat, crypto, and metals - **Authentication:** None required *** **Made with ❤️ using Apify** # Actor input Schema ## `from` (type: `string`): Source currency code (e.g., usd, eur, gbp, btc, eth). Case-insensitive. ## `to` (type: `string`): Target currency code (e.g., eur, gbp, jpy, btc). Leave empty to get all rates for the base currency. Case-insensitive. ## `amount` (type: `number`): Amount to convert ## `date` (type: `string`): Date for historical rates (YYYY-MM-DD format) or 'latest' for current rates ## `listCurrencies` (type: `boolean`): Enable to get a list of all 200+ supported currencies instead of exchange rates ## Actor input object example ```json { "from": "usd", "to": "eur", "amount": 100, "date": "2024-03-06", "listCurrencies": false } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
