FXP™ Perl Package

OANDA offers you the ability to integrate our currency data into your own applications via a set of simple, intuitive interfaces, using the advanced FXP™ protocol. Your conversions are guaranteed to be up to date, while the computational load on your environment is minimized.

The OANDA Currency Web package, available in both Perl and Python, enables you to build a simple, attractive currency converter web interface ideal for e-commerce applications.

For non-web-based applications, the FXP-module software gives you the same functionality as the Currency Web Package, without the web interface.

Both packages offer maximum flexibility, while remaining easy to install.

OANDA Currency Conversion Web Interface

The default web package, "out of the box", looks as follows:

You can view any exchange rates among 172 countries for any day since January 1, 1990 through yesterday. Currency information is provided by OANDA, the currency site.

Convert to as of (dd/mm/yyyy) using

Of course the interface can be modified to suit any page layout. It's building block structure gives you complete flexibility.

OANDA FXP™ Module (Non Web-based)

This issue is solved using our Currency Web Package, which gives you all the functionality of the Web Interface with a minimalist design. Queries to our international servers can be embedded in, for example, a CGI script. For example, the following line of a Perl program would retrieve the bid and ask conversion rates for the U.S. Dollar to the Canadian Dollar for the past five days. 

fxp::convert( "CAD", "USD", 1, time - 5*86400, "date bid ask", 5)
