Real-time Euro Exchange Rate API
This n8n workflow creates a powerful, custom API endpoint to fetch the latest Euro foreign exchange reference rates directly from the European Central Bank. Ideal for financial applications, currency converters, reporting tools, and anyone needing instant access to reliable currency data without manual intervention.
Key Features
- Instant API access to current Euro exchange rates.
- Retrieve all available currency pairs or specify a single currency using a query parameter.
- Automatically converts raw XML data into easy-to-use JSON format.
- Bypasses caching mechanisms to always fetch the absolute latest rates.
How It Works
The workflow is triggered by an incoming webhook request. It then makes an HTTP request to the European Central Bank's daily Euro foreign exchange reference rates XML feed, adding a unique parameter to ensure the freshest data. This XML data is immediately converted into a structured JSON format. If the incoming webhook request includes a specific currency code (e.g., 'USD') in its query parameters, the workflow filters the data to return only that currency's rate. Otherwise, it returns all available Euro exchange rates. Finally, the processed data is returned as a JSON response to the initial webhook call.
