NAME Finance::Currency::FiatX - Fiat currency exchange rate library VERSION This document describes version 0.007 of Finance::Currency::FiatX (from Perl distribution Finance-Currency-FiatX), released on 2018-06-25. SYNOPSIS See fiatx from App::fiatx for an example on how to use this module. DESCRIPTION FiatX is a library/application to convert one fiat currency to another using several backend modules ("sources", "Finance::Currency::FiatX::Source::*", which in turns usually utilize "Finance::Currency::Convert::*") and store the rates in DBI database for caching. FUNCTIONS get_all_spot_rates Usage: get_all_spot_rates(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta] Get all spot rates from a source. This function is not exported. Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments): * dbh => *obj* * max_age_cache => *posint* (default: 14400) Above this age (in seconds), we retrieve rate from remote source again. * source* => *str* (default: ":any") Ask for a specific remote source. If you want a specific remote source, you can specify it here. The default is ':any' which is to pick the first source that returns a recent enough current rate. Other special values: ":highest" to return highest rate of all sources, ":lowest" to return lowest rate of all sources, ':newest' to return rate from source with the newest last update time, ':oldest' to return rate from source with the oldest last update time, ':average' to return arithmetic average of all sources. * table_prefix => *str* (default: "fiatx_") Returns an enveloped result (an array). First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (result) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information. Return value: (any) get_spot_rate Usage: get_spot_rate(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta] Get spot (latest) rate. This function is not exported.
