FUNCTIONS

convert_fiat_currency

Usage:

Convert fiat currency using current rate.

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • amount => num (default: 1)

  • dbh => obj

  • from* => currency::code

  • max_age_cache => posint (default: 14400)

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

    Above this age (in seconds), we no longer consider the rate to be "current" but "historical".

  • type => str (default: "sell")

    Which rate is wanted? e.g. sell, buy.

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)
