      I just did a little math. If you set updateInterval: 45 * 60 * 1000, in your config entry for the module, you’ll get updates every 45 minutes and still come in at 992 calls per month. Might as well take advantage of those 1000 free calls per month and you get updates 25% quicker that way.

      Note

      The date and time appearing in the module is the “Exact date and time (UNIX) the exchange rates were collected.”

        Nice work, Mykle. You could’ve updated my module to add a second api source and the user selects api in config :-)

          Thanks yawns. I didn’t even consider that. I saw that making this module would not be too difficult for me so I just went ahead and put it together this morning based on @reandre68’s request. :-)

          Hey, how’s the new house? All settled in? :-)

            “Rate as of 4:54 pm today” added for clarity.

                    i’m proud as a beginner I have MM up and running in 7 days :face_with_tears_of_joy: as a pensioner i had a lot of time. and have made countless new ones , now i need EUR>THB exchange rate module and need some info before i run in some endles try out .The free account permits at https://currencylayer.com/ has changed to100 Requests / Monthly. That is not much !Is there a way to change the API provider in the module ?
