Usage

Convert Amount from One Currency to the other

You can convert the amount from one currency to the other using the following code:

ExchangeRateDriverAccessKey::$exchangerate_access_key = 'YOUR ACCESS KEY HERE';
ExchangeConverter::convert('amount', 'from this currency', 'to this currency');

Important: See the supported currency formats below. Use of unsupported formats will throw an exception

Suppose I want to convert 10 USD to GBP then my code will be:

ExchangeRateDriverAccessKey::$exchangerate_access_key = 'YOUR ACCESS KEY HERE';
echo ExchangeConverter::convert(10, 'USD', 'GBP');

Then you can retrieve the result as follows:

echo CurrencyConverted::$currency_conversion

Obtain the Exchange rate between two currencies

You can also obtain the exchange rates between two currencies as follows:

ExchangeRateDriverAccessKey::$exchangerate_access_key = 'YOUR ACCESS KEY HERE';
ExchangeRate::exchange('from this currency', 'to this currency');

Suppose I want to obtain the exchange rate between 1 USD and the GBP then my code will be as follows:

ExchangeRateDriverAccessKey::$exchangerate_access_key = 'YOUR ACCESS KEY HERE';
echo ExchangeRate::exchange('USD', 'GBP');

Then you can retrieve the result as follows:

echo CurrencyConverted::$currency_rate;
