Open Exchange Rates

Business software

Built when you ask for it

Sync Open Exchange Rates latest rate, historical rate, and currency data into your warehouse. Ingest builds this connector the first time a customer asks for it, then keeps the tables current in a data warehouse you own, on the schedule you choose.

The Open Exchange Rates connector syncs your currency exchange rate data into analytics-ready tables in your data warehouse. Pull latest rates, historical rates, and currencies from the Open Exchange Rates API, with Ingest handling auth, pagination, and retries so the tables stay current.

What you would get

Each of these arrives as its own table, kept current on the schedule you choose:

  • Latest rates
  • Historical rates
  • Currencies

How it gets built

  1. Choose Open Exchange Rates when you set up a pipeline, with the warehouse it goes to and a schedule.
  2. Ingest reads Open Exchange Rates's documentation, and you choose the tables you want.
  3. Ingest builds the connector and tests it against Open Exchange Rates itself.
  4. A person at Ingest reviews and publishes it, and your pipeline starts on its own.

What you will need

App ID, sent as a query parameter: ?app_id=. Sign up for a free or paid plan to get an app_id, then append it as ?app_id=YOUR_APP_ID.

You enter it once, in a form in Ingest, and it is kept in a secret store set aside for your organization.

Questions

Does Ingest have a Open Exchange Rates connector?
Not as a finished connector yet. Ingest builds it from Open Exchange Rates's own documentation the first time a customer asks, tests it against the real service, and lists it once it passes.
Which warehouses can Open Exchange Rates data go to?
Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Apache Iceberg, Ingest Managed Lakehouse, MotherDuck, Postgres, Amazon Athena, Databricks, Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, MySQL / generic SQL and Snowflake, in an account you own.
Do I need to write code?
No. Ingest builds, runs and maintains the connector. Someone with access to your warehouse connects it once, following a short guide.

Open Exchange Rates API documentation: https://docs.openexchangerates.org

Setting up the destination is its own short guide, one per warehouse or lake: Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Apache Iceberg, Ingest Managed Lakehouse, MotherDuck, Postgres, Amazon Athena, Databricks, Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, MySQL / generic SQL, Snowflake.

Other sources Ingest connects for SaaS teams: Asana, Jira, Airtable, Clockify, Facebook Ads, Frankfurter.
