Exchange Rates API

Overview

The exchange rates integration is a toy integration to demonstrate how Airbyte works with a very simple source.

It pulls all its data from https://exchangeratesapi.io

Output schema

It contains one stream: exchange_rates

Each record in the stream contains many fields:

  • The date of the record
  • One field for every supported currency which contain the value of that currency on that date.

Data type mapping

Currencies are number and the date is a string.

Setup guide

In order to get an API Access Key please go to this page and enter needed info. After registration and login you will see your API Access Key, also you may find it here.

If you have free subscription plan (you may check it here) this means that you will have 2 limitations:

  1. 1000 API calls per month.
  2. You won't be able to specify the base parameter, meaning that you will be dealing only with default base value which is EUR.
