What is Exchange Rate?
The Exchange Rate skill is a powerful utility for Openclaw Skills designed to provide instant access to global currency markets. By leveraging the QVeris API, it acts as an intelligent gateway to multiple financial data providers like Alpha Vantage and Twelve Data. This ensures that users get the most accurate, real-time rates for forex pairs and common cryptocurrencies without needing to manage individual API keys for every provider.
Whether you are building a budget report, planning international travel, or monitoring trade conditions, this skill streamlines the process of fetching financial data. It prioritizes reliability through a robust fallback system, ensuring that if one data source is unavailable, the agent automatically pivots to the next best provider to fulfill the request.
Exchange Rate Use Cases
- Retrieving real-time exchange rates between major fiat currencies like USD, EUR, and JPY.
- Performing instant currency conversions for specific amounts within a chat or terminal interface.
- Accessing historical exchange rate data for financial reporting and auditing purposes.
- Integrating live market data into automated trade analysis or travel budgeting workflows.
How Exchange Rate Works
- Parse the user intent to determine if they require a simple exchange rate or a specific amount conversion.
- Search QVeris for the most relevant tools based on capabilities like real-time currency exchange.
- Rank the results by success rate, latency, and parameter fit to ensure the highest quality data source is used.
- Build the request parameters using the from and to currency symbols and the optional amount.
- Execute the chosen tool with a 5-second timeout, automatically attempting a fallback if the primary provider fails.
- Return the formatted rate and converted amount to the user in a clean markdown or JSON format.
Exchange Rate Setup
To enable this capability within Openclaw Skills, you must provide your QVeris API key in your environment configuration.
export QVERIS_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
You can then run the script directly using Node.js:
node scripts/exchange_rate.mjs rate --from USD --to EUR
