convert.currency

Convert an amount between currencies at a live or historical exchange rate. Pass from + to (3-letter ISO 4217 codes) and optional amount (default 1) and date (YYYY-MM-DD for a historical rate; omit for the latest). Returns the converted result, the per-unit rate, and the effective rate date. Live data from the European Central Bank reference rates (via Frankfurter) — fetched per request, never stale; weekends/holidays use the last published business day. Coverage is the ECB major currencies. Distinct from fx.rates (the raw rate table) — this is the agent-friendly "X from = ? to" call.

Code samples

cURLbash

# 1. Probe with no auth → 402 envelope with PaymentRequirements
curl -sS 'https://2s.io/api/convert/currency?from=xxx&to=xxx&amount=0&date=2024-01-01'

# 2. Sign + retry with PAYMENT-SIGNATURE:
curl -sS 'https://2s.io/api/convert/currency?from=xxx&to=xxx&amount=0&date=2024-01-01' \
  -H 'PAYMENT-SIGNATURE: <base64-json-payload>'

# Or use the canonical runner (handles probe → sign → retry):
#   EVM_PRIVATE_KEY=0x... node --env-file=.env.local \
#     --experimental-strip-types scripts/x402-pay.ts \
#     'https://2s.io/api/convert/currency?from=xxx&to=xxx&amount=0&date=2024-01-01'
