A multi-platform API to retrieve currency exchange prices.

A Dart plugin for retrieving currency exchange rates.

This package provides a set of high-level functions and classes that make it easy to retrieve currency exchange rates. It's platform-independent, supports iOS and Android.

Using

The easiest way to use this library is via the top-level functions. They allow you to make currency exchange rate requests with minimal hassle:

  Map<String, num> quotes = await Forex.fx(
      quoteProvider: QuoteProvider.yahoo,
      base: 'USD',
      quotes: <String>['EUR']);

  print('Number of quotes retrieved: ${quotes.keys.length}.');
  print('Exchange rate USDEUR: ${quotes['USDEUR']}.');

If you're making multiple quote requests to the same server, you can request all of them in a single function call:

  quotes = await Forex.fx(
      quoteProvider: QuoteProvider.ecb,
      base: 'JPY',
      quotes: <String>['EUR', 'USD']);

  print('Number of quotes retrieved: ${quotes.keys.length}.');
  print('Exchange rate JPYEUR: ${quotes['JPYEUR']}.');
  print('Exchange rate JPYUSD: ${quotes['JPYUSD']}.');
