A PHP wrapper around the [Open Exchange Rates](openexchangerates.org) API.

Installation
============

[](#installation)

- Clone the repository
- Make sure you have [composer](http://getcomposer.org/) set up and working
- Install dependencies by running `composer install`
- Copy the sample config file (`config/config.yml.sample`) to `config/config.yml`

use OpenExchangeRates\Config;
use OpenExchangeRates\Request\ConversionRequest;

require('vendor/autoload.php');

$config = new Config('config/config.yml');
$request = new ConversionRequest($config);

try {
    $response = $request->convert(100, 'USD', 'GBP');
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    die('Request exception received: '.$e->getMessage());
}
echo "100 USD is " . $response . " GBP\n";
