I used https://fixer.io/ as the provider for my Exchange rates. They have a free tier that allows up to 1k calls per month and as often as hourly calls. To integrate it with my Quick Base, I used Workato, but you could use Pipelines or Zapier to do it also.

- NirajShah45 years agoQrew CadetThanks, Blake! I wasn't aware of Fixer but it looks to be just what I need to get a daily view of exchange rates.
I'm not an API maven and haven't used Pipelines extensively; are you able to tell me how you were able to set it up?
I appreciate it!

------------------------------- BlakeHarrison5 years agoQrew CaptainI actually did not use Pipelines to build this connection, but used Workato (Pipelines wasn't available when I set this up). For me, I just needed the EUR/USD conversion each day and this is the call I sent:
And this is the response schema that I setup:[ { "control_type": "text", "label": "Success", "render_input": {}, "parse_output": {}, "toggle_hint": "Select from option list", "toggle_field": { "label": "Success", "control_type": "text", "toggle_hint": "Use custom value", "type": "boolean", "name": "success" }, "type": "boolean", "name": "success" }, { "control_type": "number", "label": "Timestamp", "parse_output": "float_conversion", "type": "number", "name": "timestamp" }, { "control_type": "text", "label": "Base", "type": "string", "name": "base" }, { "control_type": "text", "label": "Date", "type": "string", "name": "date" }, { "properties": [ { "control_type": "number", "label": "USD", "parse_output": "float_conversion", "type": "number", "name": "USD" } ], "label": "Rates", "type": "object", "name": "rates" } ]
