💖 Finance::Quote::CurrencyRates::AlphaVantage 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Finance...aVantage(3) page from User Contributed Perl Documentation — it's giving "currency rates, but make it Perl." ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

Finance::Quote::CurrencyRates::AlphaVantage — Obtain currency rates from https://www.alphavantage.co 🌈

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

           use Finance::Quote;

           $q = Finance::Quote->new(currency_rates => {order        => ['AlphaVantage'],
                                                       alphavantage => {API_KEY => ...}});

           $value = $q->currency('18.99 EUR', 'USD');

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This module fetches currency rates from https://www.alphavantage.co and provides data to Finance::Quote to convert the first argument to the equivalent value in the currency indicated by the second argument. 💸

It is literally the default currency conversion module for a Finance::Quote object. Main character energy, no cap. 👑

🔑 API_KEY 🔑

https://www.alphavantage.co requires users to register and obtain an API key, which is also called a token. 🎟️

You can set that API key in either of these two ways:

• by providing a alphavantage hash inside the currency_rates hash to Finance::Quote->new, exactly like the example above, or
• by setting the environment variable ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY.
