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
https://developer.oanda.com/rest-live/authentication/
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.
Any chance we can get more detail on this workflow and grabbing rates from Oanda? Considering this option as well. Thank you.
Were you able to find anything further on this? I'm considering this too.
Thanks!
I think the solution that @DiganP referenced above should work. I will be getting back into this in the next couple of weeks so I will be sure the post updates as I perform the coding. Thanks!
Any chance there are some updates on this? Thanks!
Hi , I have the same use case, were you able to get the solution to this
