curconv

Simple script for converting between currencies. Uses the libre fixer.io API.

Usage

curconv.py [amount] [input currency] [output currency]

Where:

  • amount is the amount of the input currency that is to be converted

  • input currency is the currency from which the amount is being converted

  • output currency is the currency to which the amount is being converted

Notes

You must supply your own API key. This can be obtained from fixer.io and should be set as the value of API_KEY in the script. The free plan normally does not provide exchange rates using base currencies other than the Euro; however, curconv works around that limitation by converting the original amount to Euros and then to the output currency.

Tested with both Python 2.7 and 3.6.
