Alteryx and OANDA

Hi everyone! I did a search and didn't find much on this topic. I have a use case that requires me to grab the latest currency conversion rates on a daily basis. I would do this through a company called OANDA. I was wondering if anyone in Alteryx land has tried to do interface with OANDA via API calls in the past. I would be gathering this data and, ultimately, write this data to a database with my Alteryx workflow. Has anyone ventured into anything concerning OANDA? If not, I'll post my experience when I go down this potentially untraveled path. Thanks so much!

@chriswilliams41 This should be possible. I took a look at their documentation and it seems to pretty straight forward.

You would probably use a personal token to authorize to use their endpoints in the download tool.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer 12345678900987654321-abc34135acde13f13530" https://api-fxtrade.oanda.com/v1/accounts

The link above walks you through on how to get through authentication.

I'm sorry. I've been swamped lately, but I wanted to thank you for your insight on this. I have some time now to play with this and get more comfortable with this. Thank you so much.
