Currency REST API

The Currency REST API is a read-only API allowing you to search and filter currency pairs and accessed through the following URL:

https://api.opendatadsl.com/api/currency

The API consists of the following calls:

Method	Path	Example	Description
GET			Get the build information for this service
GET	{release}/{source}	'v1/public' 'v1/private'	List public or private currency pairs
GET	{release}/{source}/{key}	v1/private/TEST	Retrieve a single currency pair

The currency pair entity is an object of type #ForeignExchange and contains (at least) the following information:

Name	Description	Type
_id	Unique id for the currency pair object (or object id if this is not the latest version)	String
_type	The type of the entity - always #ForeignExchange	String
_links	An object containing object link information	Object
_access	The data role for access control of this currency pair	String
base	The base currency code	String
currency	The currency code	String
source	The code for the currency provider	String

In order to get a list of the currency providers, you can use the _distinct query parameter on either the public or private currency pairs, e.g.

https://api.opendatadsl.com/api/currency/v1/public?_distinct=source

To get a list of base currencies for a provider, you can filter the source and use the _distinct query parameter on the base property, e.g.

https://api.opendatadsl.com/api/currency/v1/public?source=ECB&_distinct=base

To get a list of currencies for a specific base currency from a provider.

https://api.opendatadsl.com/api/currency/v1/public?source=ECB&base=EUR&_distinct=currency

To get a list of object ids for a provider.

https://api.opendatadsl.com/api/currency/v1/public?source=ECB&base=EUR&_distinct=_id
