One day I was browsing cryptocurrency communities online and came across a request for a software that converted online prices. After reviewing the suggestions made to this post, I noticed none of them were using live exchange rates.
With prices constantly changing, I knew there was a need for an extension that used live exchange rates, so I made this!
Technical Details
I am using string manipulation within the API request to allow a very large amount of currencies to be converted.
The exchange rate is derived from a
public API.
Instead of implementing each currency manually, I alter the same api request based on user choice. This allows my extension to support 200+ currencies while remaining extremely lightweight.
