Hi Colleagues,

In 22R2 there is a functionality for automatic update of currency rates.

I was able to set up the workflow by using the https://currencyapi.com and API Key provided by this service.

However I need to test if this functionality will be able to fetch the currency rates from polish Bank Portal: http://api.nbp.pl/en.html and I can not see any API Key there.

Do you know if it is possible to set up “finCurrencyTypeUpdate” workflow without the API Key?

 

Kind regards,

Aleksandra

Hi @Aleksandra W.

I think the webservice http://api.nbp.pl/en.html doesn’t need any API key. It is a public API.

So, I used this webservice -

URL: https://api.nbp.pl/api/exchangerates/tables/a
API Key: I entered any random key since the webservice will ignore this query parameter

I tried to update the currency rates, it didn’t show any error but it didn’t update also.

Possible reason -

The webservice returns an XML and in a different structure than the currencyapi.com -

api.currencyapi.com
Polish bank portal API

 

Thanks and Regards,
Rohit.
