Finance...::Fixer(3)

okay bestie, welcome to the Finance...::Fixer(3) page — it's from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and it's all about Finance::Quote::CurrencyRates::Fixer, the module that pulls currency rates from https://fixer.io. no cap, it's giving “your Finance::Quote bestie has a rates hookup” energy 💅.

💖 NAME 💖

Finance::Quote::CurrencyRates::Fixer — obtain currency rates from https://fixer.io. that's the name, that's the vibe, and yes we're keeping it exact 🫶.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

           use Finance::Quote;

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

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

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so this module fetches currency rates from https://fixer.io and provides data to Finance::Quote to convert the first argument to the equivalent value in the currency indicated by the second argument. literally the glow-up from one currency to another ✨.

It caches the currency rates for the lifetime of the quoter object, unless cache => 0 is included in the 'fixer' options hash. so yeah, cache behavior is a whole thing, bestie 💾.

🔑 API_KEY 🔑

https://fixer.io requires users to register and obtain an API key. you need one, iykyk 😭.

The API key can be set by:

• setting the FIXER_API_KEY environment variable
• providing a 'fixer' hash inside the 'currency_rates' hash to Finance::Quote->new, as in the above example
