NAME
    Finance::Currency::FiatX - Currency exchange rate library

VERSION
    This document describes version 0.011 of Finance::Currency::FiatX (from
    Perl distribution Finance-Currency-FiatX), released on 2019-01-10.

SYNOPSIS
    The easiest way to use this module is via CLI fiatx from App::fiatx. To
    use this module directly, first create a MySQL database, then:

     use Finance::Currency::FiatX qw(get_spot_rate get_all_spot_rates);

     # connect to database
     my $dbh = DBI->connect(...);

     # create a database# get a single spot rate from any source
     my $res = get_spot_rate(dbh => $dbh, from => "USD", to => "IDR");

DESCRIPTION
    FiatX is a library/application to convert one currency to another using
    several backend modules ("sources",
    "Finance::Currency::FiatX::Source::*", which in turns usually utilize
    "Finance::Currency::Convert::*") and store the rates in DBI database for
    caching.

FUNCTIONS
  get_all_spot_rates
    Usage:

     get_all_spot_rates(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta]

    Get all spot rates from a source.

    This routine will retrieve all available spot rates from a source. You
    can either pick a specific source (e.g. "bi" for "Bank of Indonesia") or
    one of the special/"pseudo" sources: ':any', ':highest', ':lowest',
    'newest', ':oldest', ':average'.

    Some source provide rates for a large number of currency pairs, not all
    of which you might need. For retrieving rates for a specific currency
    pair only, use "get_spot_rate".

    This function is not exported by default, but exportable.

    Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

    *   dbh => *obj*

    *   max_age_cache => *nonnegint* (default: 14400)

        Above this age (in seconds), we retrieve rate from remote source
        again.

    *   source* => *str* (default: ":any")

        Ask for a specific remote source.

        If you want a specific remote source, you can specify it here. The
        default is ':any' which is to pick the first source that returns a
        recent enough current rate.

        Other special values: ":highest" to return highest rate of all
        sources, ":lowest" to return lowest rate of all sources, ':newest'
        to return rate from source with the newest last update time,
        ':oldest' to return rate from source with the oldest last update
        time, ':average' to return arithmetic average of all sources.

    *   table_prefix => *str* (default: "fiatx_")

    Returns an enveloped result (an array).

    First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200
    means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is
    a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third
    element (payload) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta)
    is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra
    information.

    Return value: (any)

  get_spot_rate
    Usage:

     get_spot_rate(%args) -> [status, msg, payload, meta]

    Get spot rate for a currency pair.

    This routine will retrieve spot rate(s) for a specific currency pair
    from a source. You can either let the routine pick any one source that
    is new enough (':any') or pick a specific source (e.g. "bi" for "Bank of
    Indonesia"), or one of the other special/"pseudo" sources: ':highest',
    ':lowest', 'newest', ':oldest', ':average'.

    Note that there might be multiple spot rates for a single currency pair,
    because there might be different types of rates, for example: "buy",
    "sell", or more specific types or buy and sell rates.

    See also "get_all_spot_rates" to retrieve rates for all currency pairs
    available from a specific source.

    This function is not exported by default, but exportable.

    Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

    *   dbh => *obj*

    *   from* => *currency::code*

    *   max_age_cache => *nonnegint* (default: 14400)

        Above this age (in seconds), we retrieve rate from remote source
        again.

    *   source => *str* (default: ":any")

        Ask for a specific remote source.

        If you want a specific remote source, you can specify it here. The
        default is ':any' which is to pick the first source that returns a
        recent enough current rate.

        Other special values: ":highest" to return highest rate of all
        sources, ":lowest" to return lowest rate of all sources, ':newest'
        to return rate from source with the newest last update time,
        ':oldest' to return rate from source with the oldest last update
        time, ':average' to return arithmetic average of all sources.

    *   table_prefix => *str* (default: "fiatx_")

    *   to* => *currency::code*

    *   type => *str*

        Which rate is wanted? e.g. sell, buy.

    Returns an enveloped result (an array).

    First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200
    means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is
    a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third
    element (payload) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta)
    is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra
    information.

    Return value: (any)

  list_rate_sources
    Usage:

     list_rate_sources() -> [status, msg, payload, meta]

    List exchange rate sources installed on the system.

    Sources are modules under the namespace
    "Finance::Currency::FiatX::Source::*", for example the source "bi"
    ("Bank of Indonesia") is implemented in
    Finance::Currency::FiatX::Source::bi. This routine lists the installed
    sources without the namespace prefix.

    This function is not exported by default, but exportable.

    No arguments.

    Returns an enveloped result (an array).

    First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200
    means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is
    a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third
    element (payload) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta)
    is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra
    information.

    Return value: (any)
