API Xurrency new!
What is API Xurrency?
Xurrency provides developers with direct access to exchange rate information. Now you can integrate the data into your site directly from Xurrency or allow people to query the exchange rate.
How can I use it?
The API is based in SOAP, a protocol for exchanging XML-based messages. It is multiplatform, so you can use it in several programming languages. For PHP, we propose to use NuSOAP library, a free collection of PHP classes that allow users to send and receive SOAP messages.

$cliente = new soapclient('http://xurrency.com/api.wsdl', 'wsdl');
$err = $cliente->getError();
if($err)
exit();
