Re: Inidan Forex Rates from RBI

I have not tested the code. But it might work for you.

$url = 'https://free.currencyconverterapi.com/api/v5/convert?q=PHP_PKR&compact=y;
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, http_build_query([]));
$response = curl_exec($ch); 

$res = json_decode($response); 

print_r($res); 

echo $res['PHP_PKR']->val; //this one i am not sure. it may be two dimensional array. So check with it by using print_r

Re: Inidan Forex Rates from RBI

@boxygen: the json output can be parsed into an array and then manipulated.

If some currency pairs are one way only quotients exceeding 4 digits of zeroes in the decimal places then an intermediate exchange rate can be used in the division in reverse.

Re: Inidan Forex Rates from RBI

Adding following 2 Code Components in gl/includes/db/gl_db_rates.inc Worked

at Line 163

elseif ($provider == 'CCA') //free.currencyconverterapi.com
    {
        $filename = "/api/v5/convert?q={$curr_b}_{$curr_a}&compact=y";
        $site = "free.currencyconverterapi.com";
        $proto = 'https://';

    }

and at Line 240

    elseif ($provider == 'CCA')
    {
        $rates = json_decode($contents, true);
        $val = $rates[$curr_b.'_'.$curr_a]['val'];
      }

and It works for all currencies without fail

Re: Inidan Forex Rates from RBI

How do you even use these links? I'm new to this, and so far, these topics don't make sense to me. I would like to learn more about it.
