FXP (Foreign Exchange Protocol)
FXP (FXProtocol) is a simple automatic way of retrieving currency rates
over the Internet. FXP utilizes a request-send model similar to HTTP.
It allows users to capture “raw” data from OANDA servers for
inclusion into the clients FX applications. Users can receive single
conversion or time series data for rates back to 1990 on 164 FX instruments.
FXP is ideal for e-commerce sites to localize prices on products and
services in on-line catalogues automatically and on-the-fly. Companies
may also use FXP for back-office applications, such as accounting, expense
management, procurement, invoicing, etc.
