Y-currency

Easy currency conversion and currency information retrieval using the Yahoo Finance API where the rates are updated every few minutes.

Installation:

npm install y-currency

Usage:

To convert currencies use the convert(amount,from,to,callback) function.

Example:

var currency = require('y-currency');

currency.convert(10, 'USD', 'EUR', function(err,converted){
    
    if (err){
        console.log(err);
    }

    console.log(converted);
});

Outputs the converted currency as a float: 8.81

It is also possible to convert multiple values at once by entering an array:

var currency = require('y-currency');

currency.convert([10, 81, 99, 20, 67, 19], 'USD', 'EUR', function(err,converted){
    
    if (err){
        console.log(err);
    }

    console.log(converted);
});

Outputs an array of converted floats: [8.93, 17.87, 26.80, 35.74, 44.67]

You can also get information about currency pairs by using getCurrency(pair,callback)

Example:

var currency = require('y-currency');

currency.getCurrency('USDEUR',function(err,response){

    if (err){
        console.log(err);
    }

    console.log(response);

});

Outputs an object:

 { id: 'USDEUR',
  Name: 'USD to EUR',
  Rate: '0.891',
  Date: '2/27/2015',
  Time: '10:56am',
  Ask: '0.891',
  Bid: '0.8909' }

You can also get multiple currency pairs by entering an array of pairs as so:

var currency = require('y-currency');

currency.getCurrency(['USDEUR','NZDCAD','SEKTHB'],function(err,response){

    if (err){
        console.log(err);
    }

    console.log(response);

});

Outputs an array of objects:

[ { id: 'USDEUR',
        Name: 'USD to EUR',
        Rate: '0.8935',
        Date: '2/27/2015',
        Time: '12:07pm',
        Ask: '0.8935',
        Bid: '0.8935' },
      { id: 'NZDCAD',
        Name: 'NZD to CAD',
        Rate: '0.9452',
        Date: '2/27/2015',
        Time: '12:07pm',
        Ask: '0.9455',
        Bid: '0.9449' },
      { id: 'THBSEK',
        Name: 'THB to SEK',
        Rate: '0.2587',
        Date: '2/27/2015',
        Time: '12:07pm',
        Ask: '0.2592',
        Bid: '0.2581' } ]
