hmmm may I check what is the purpose? what external API are you using? (need to seek permission to use those too!)

Bawfen commented 1 year ago

We are planning to use an API that returns up-to-date exchange rates, using the free tier of https://apilayer.com/marketplace/exchangerates_data-api

Ok approved both. 👍 however, if you find any other source of finding exchange rates, encourage you to use that over the one you have indicated.
