Get currency exchange rates the easy way

A common requirement is to display an amount in different currencies. In this case, you need the exchange rate. Use a service for this!

Install the service via composer:

composer require jsonrates/api-client

And use it:

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$jsonrates = new \Jsonrates\Client();
$rate = $jsonrates
   ->from('USD')
   ->to('EUR')
   ->get();
