Swap allows you to retrieve currency exchange rates from various services such as Fixer or currencylayer and optionally cache the results. It is integrated to other libraries like moneyphp/money and provides a Symfony Bundle and a Laravel Package.
$ composer require php-http/curl-client nyholm/psr7 php-http/message florianv/swapuse Swap\Builder;

$swap = (new Builder())

->add('fixer', ['access_key' => 'your-access-key'])
// Use the currencylayer.com service as first fallback
->add('currency_layer', ['access_key' => 'secret', 'enterprise' => false])
->build();
// Get the latest EUR/USD rate
$rate = $swap->latest('EUR/USD');
// 1.129
$rate->getValue();
// 2016-08-26
$rate->getDate()->format('Y-m-d');
// Get the EUR/USD rate 15 days ago
$rate = $swap->historical('EUR/USD', (new \DateTime())->modify('-15 days'));We recommend to use the services that support our project, providing a free plan up to 1,000 requests per day.
