Open Exchange Rates API Data Model

Catalog: OpenExchangeRates

Schema: OpenExchangeRates

Label: Convert Amount

Documentation:

Convert any money value from one currency to another at the latest API rates using the /convert API endpoint. This feature works differently to other endpoints in our API, using a REST-based approach and an alternate response format. Currency conversion requests are currently available for clients on the Unlimited plan.

This is a read-only table function. The Open Exchange Rates API may not support changing the data or the Invantive SQL driver for Open Exchange Rates does not cover it. In the latter case, please use the table NativePlatformScalarRequests to upload data to the Open Exchange Rates API.

Select Open Exchange Rates API URL: convert/{value}/{from}/{to}

Insert Open Exchange Rates API URL: convert/{value}/{from}/{to}

Update Open Exchange Rates API URL: convert/{value}/{from}/{to}

Delete Open Exchange Rates API URL: convert/{value}/{from}/{to}

Field Selection Method: NotRequired

Table Function Parameters

The following parameters can be used to control the behaviour of the table function ConvertAmount. A value must be provided at all times for required parameters, but optional parameters in general do not need to have a value and the execution will default to a pre-defined behaviour. Values can be specified by position and by name. In both cases, all parameters not specified will be treated using their default values.

Value specification by position is done by listing all values from the first to the last needed value. For example with `select * from table(value1, value2, value3)` on a table with four parameters will use the default value for the fourth parameter and the specified values for the first three.

Value specification by name is done by listing all values that require a value. For example with `select * from table(name1 => value1, name3 => value3)` on the same table will use the default values for the second and fourth parameters and the specified values for the first and third.
