Get Current and Historical Currency Exchange Rates in Laravel

Laravel Currency is a package that provides current and historical exchange rates for currency and cryptocurrencies. The package leverages the exchangerate.host API for exchange rate data, and has a clean API for getting data:

use AmrShawky\Currency\Facade\Currency;
 
// Get the current USD -> EUR exchange rate
Currency::convert()
        ->from('USD')
        ->to('EUR')
        ->get();
 
// Historical exchange rate data
Currency::convert()
        ->from('USD')
        ->to('EUR')
        ->date('2019-08-01')
        ->get();
 
// Get all of the latest rates
Currency::rates()
        ->latest()
        ->get();
 
// A more complete example, getting historical rates
Currency::rates()
        ->historical('2020-01-01')
        ->symbols(['USD', 'EUR', 'CZK'])
        ->base('GBP')
        ->amount(5.66)
        ->round(2)
        ->source('ecb')
        ->get();
