More than 180+ currency rates. Customizable exchange rate widgets with hourly background updates, caching, and no API key required.

== Description ==

More than 180+ currency rates. Currency Converter adds customizable exchange rate widgets to your WordPress site. It supports a wide range of fiat currencies, cryptocurrencies, precious metals, and other monetary units available through the ExchangeRate.guru API.

Exchange rates are refreshed automatically once per hour using WordPress Cron and stored locally in the WordPress database. Widgets use the cached data, so visitors do not trigger remote API requests. No registration, API key, or password is required.

= Features =

1. Multiple widgets for displaying exchange rates.
2. Customizable currencies, colors, headings, flags, and other display options.
3. Support for fiat currencies, cryptocurrencies, precious metals, and other monetary units.
4. Automatic hourly updates through WordPress Cron.
5. Locally cached rates with no remote requests from page visitors.
6. No registration, API key, or password required.
7. A PHP API for building custom widgets or displaying exchange rates in a theme.

= Exchange rate sources =

The plugin retrieves the available currencies and their rates through the ExchangeRate.guru public API. The current list of primary exchange rate sources and information about the methodology are available on the [ExchangeRate.guru sources page](https://exchangerate.guru/sources/).
