Set exchange rates SC

Updated on 30 Mar 2023

There are two options of getting exchange rates for the operations:

In our case, we use Currency Cloud (https://www.currencycloud.com/) as a third-party solution for getting currency exchange rates.

To switch between manual and automated mode (Currency Cloud) the system should be redeployed with corresponding changes in the YAML file.

1 rate:
2 exchange-rates:
3 ttl: PT6H
4 currency-cloud:
5 enabled: true
6 url: ‘https://devapi.currencycloud.com/v2’
7 login-id: ‘…’
8 api-key: ‘…’

where:

TTL – a frequency of getting the updated rates from third-party
currency-cloud.enabled – true/false means turn on/turn off using Currency Cloud. If it’s turned off then the system uses manually set up exchange rates. If it’s turned on – the system gets exchange rates from Currency Cloud.

You need to create your own account in Currency Cloud in order to use it.
