What Are These RSS Feeds for Currency Exchange Rates?
RSS currency exchange rate feeds allow you to see the exchange rates of selected currencies at regular intervals, or as soon as they are published, without having to visit the websites you have taken the feed from.
How do I start using feeds?
In general, the first thing you need is something called an RSS reader. This is a piece of software that checks the feeds and lets you read any new publications that have been added. There are many different versions, some of which are accessed using a browser, and some of which are downloadable applications.
Browser-based RSS readers let you catch up with your RSS feed subscriptions from any computer, whereas downloadable applications let you store them on your main computer, in the same way that you either download your e-mail using Outlook, or keep it on a web-based service like Hotmail.
Can I Use The Exchange Rate Feeds For My Business Or Website?
The simple answer is - Yes; However, there are conditions.
This service is intended for everyone and so
we don't want any selfish individuals treating it as their own personal data feed and soaking up the bandwidth
for their own purposes. Show a little courtesy and common sense and the feeds can be kept running at a reasonable
cost to ourselves. For example, if you have a website or smartphone application that requires the feeds then please
don't sent all of your users directly to this site. Instead, download the data to your own server and get the users
to retrieve the data from your own site.
We reserve the right to block any users that we consider to be exhibiting unreasonable use.
You should also note that we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the exchange rates or the format of the rss feeds and so if you are using them for
a business that relies on them for your day-to-day operations then you should really consider switching to a more reliable (i.e. paid-for) service.
In short, you use this data at your own risk and if you lose money as a result of using these feeds then it's your own fault.
Oh, and one other thing... please provide a courtesy link to this website from within a prominent page on your own website/application to
ensure that we get credited with providing a valuable service for the benefit of the search engine algorithms of this world. This will enable us to
keep the service free of charge for everyone.
That's it... any further enquiries then feel free to contact us.
