Hm, they do provide CSV formatted info, though embedded in a webpage and it does not seem to be exposed through a public URL. Which kinda makes sense for a site with commercial adds. A pity, their list of currencies is exhaustive.

As for the Dashboard widget, the list of currencies supported is quite small, and besides, is using that legal?

Hi

I don't know if there's a "machine readable" version, neither the costs, nor the reliability, but it's the site I used to use to do this kind of stuff before using the Dashboard widget. BTW what about the site the dashboard widget uses?

we use xe.com.

we get an xml conversion file once per day that we parse and then have methods to handle conversions. it's about 400 USD per annum in think, which is very good value for a reliable service.

Ouch...

we tried and tested quite a few free services and, well, you get what you pay for.

Was afraid of that...

Thanks
