FUNCTIONS

all_spot_rates

Usage:

all_spot_rates(%args) -> [status, msg, result, meta]

Get all spot (latest) rates from a source.

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • db_name* => str

  • db_password => str

  • db_username => str

  • max_age_cache => posint (default: 14400)

    Above this age (in seconds), we retrieve rate from remote source again.

  • source* => str (default: ":any")

    Ask for a specific remote source.

    If you want a specific remote source, you can specify it here. The default is ':any' which is to pick the first source that returns a recent enough current rate.

    Other special values: :highest to return highest rate of all sources, :lowest to return lowest rate of all sources, ':newest' to return rate from source with the newest last update time, ':oldest' to return rate from source with the oldest last update time, ':average' to return arithmetic average of all sources.

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (result) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.

Return value: (any)
