Here is a code snippet that redirects to a page with the necessary forex rate but we need to capture the redirection in curl.
<?php
$from_curr = 'USD';
$to_curr = 'SGD';
$on_date = date('Y-m-d');
$form = <<<EOT
<form method="post" action="https://www1.oanda.com/currency/converter/" id="ncc_detail_form">

</script>Even the Submit button can be "hidden".
