Frankfurter API wrapper for Laravel

This is a simple wrapper for the fantastic Frankfurter API.

Installation

Use composer to install:

composer require investbrainapp/frankfurter-client

Usage

This package provides a simple Laravel facade that exposes all functionality provided by the Frankfurter API.

Latest

To get the latest exchange rate use the latest method:

return Frankfurter::latest();

Historical

To get a historic exchange rate, pass a well formated date string or a DateTime object to the historical method:

return Frankfurter::historical('2025-01-01');

Time series

To get time series data for a range of dates, pass well formated date strings or DateTime objects to the timeSeries method:

return Frankfurter::timeSeries('2023-01-01', '2024-12-31');

If you want all rates between a date in the past and today's date, you can omit the second argument to the timeSeries method:

return Frankfurter::timeSeries('2023-01-01');

Supported currencies

You can call the currencies method to get a list of all supported currencies:

return Frankfurter::currencies();

Other methods

You can pass an array to the setSymbols method to limit the query to only specified symbols:

Frankfurter::setSymbols(['INR','JPY','GBP'])->latest();

You can also set the base currency using the setBaseCurrency method:

Frankfurter::setBaseCurrency(['GBP'])->latest();

Configuration

You can publish the frankfurter.php config file by running:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Investbrain\Frankfurter\FrankfurterServiceProvider" --tag=config

In the config file, you can adjust your base currency and the base url (if you're self hosting Frankfurter).
