We structured our API around the following primitives. Understanding the relationships between these primitives will be helpful as you onboard to the API:

• Currencies Data: The highest level API Primitive. The primitive lists supported currencies and their associated metadata, such as currency code, currency name, and possibly the country or region. The data returned by this primitive helps users understand which currencies are available for historical data retrieval and conversion operations within the API.

• Historical Data: The primitive allows users to retrieve historical exchange rate data for a specific currency with a particular date. It is helpful for customers interested in analyzing currency trends over time, performing backtesting, or generating financial reports.

• Convert: The primitive enables users to convert an amount from one currency to another, utilizing the latest exchange rate data. Customers can input the base currency, target currency, and the amount they want to convert. The API will return the converted amount. This primitive is particularly useful for customers who need real-time currency conversion functionality for various purposes, such as international transactions, travel planning, or financial analysis. e.t.c.

• Convert All: The primitive facilitates the conversion of a base currency to all available supported currencies in a single request. Customers input the base currency and the amount they want to convert. The API returns a comprehensive list of supported currencies, their corresponding ISO codes, currency symbols, currency icons, and converted amounts. It is particularly beneficial for customers who require bulk currency conversion functionality, such as displaying currency conversion tables, generating multi-currency reports, or managing transactions in various currencies for international businesses.

It is beneficial for customers seeking an accurate snapshot of currency values on a particular day for financial analysis, risk management, or assessing the impact of exchange rate changes on business operations.

It helps customers interested in tracking currency trends on a broader scale, such as for macroeconomic analysis, long-term investment planning, or evaluating the overall performance of currency trading strategies.
