## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

## Currency Conversion Actor

The Currency Conversion Actor allows you to easily convert currency values between different currencies in real-time using up-to-date exchange rates. This actor is ideal for financial applications, pricing adjustments, e-commerce, and any scenario where you need accurate currency conversions.

## Features

- **Real-time conversion**: Fetch the latest exchange rates to convert between any two supported currencies.
- **Customizable input**: Specify the amount, base currency, and target currency.
- **Accurate and reliable**: Uses up-to-date data to ensure accurate conversion rates.

## Input Schema

The actor accepts the following inputs:

- **amount** (required):
  The amount of currency to convert (e.g., 100).

- **currencyFrom** (required):
  The currency you want to convert from (e.g., USD). It should be a valid currency code according to ISO 4217.

- **currencyTo** (required):
  The currency you want to convert to (e.g., EUR). It should be a valid currency code according to ISO 4217.

## Example Input:

```javascript
{
    "amount": "1000",
    "currencyFrom": "USD",
    "currencyTo": "EUR"
}
```

\#Output Schema
The actor will return a JSON object with the converted value and other relevant details:

- **amount**: The value of the converted currency.
- **convert**: The exchange rate used for the conversion.
- **rate**: The currency you are converting from.

## Example Output:

```javascript
{
  "amount": 1000,
  "convert": {
    "currencyFrom": "1,000.00 US Dollars",
    "currencyTo": "910.57232 Euros"
  },
  "rate":[
    {
      "currencyFrom": "1 USD",
      "currencyTo": "0.910572 EUR"
    },
    {
      "currencyFrom": "1 EUR",
      "currencyTo": "1.09821 USD"
    }
  ]
}
```

## How to Use

1. Go to the Currency Conversion Actor on Apify.
2. Set up the required inputs (amount, currencyFrom, currencyTo).
3. Run the actor and get real-time currency conversion results!

Use Cases

- **E-commerce**: Convert prices from one currency to another for international users.
- **Travel**: Calculate the equivalent value of foreign currencies before a trip.
- **Finance**: Get real-time data on exchange rates for trading, accounting, or budgeting.

## Example Scenarios

1. Convert 100 USD to EUR.
2. Convert 500 USD to GBP for travel budgeting.
3. Use live exchange rates for a price comparison app.

## Actor Settings

This actor uses Node.js and Puppeteer to fetch the latest exchange rate data from trusted online sources. You can extend its functionality by integrating it with specific API providers for enhanced data accuracy and reliability.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "amount": "1000",
    "currencyFrom": "USD",
    "currencyTo": "EUR"
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("dev_bodex/currency-conversion").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "amount": "1000",
  "currencyFrom": "USD",
  "currencyTo": "EUR"
}' |
apify call dev_bodex/currency-conversion --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,dev_bodex/currency-conversion"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
