info.blockchain.api.exchangerates package

The exchangerates package contains the ExchangeRates class that reflects the functionality documented at https://blockchain.info/api/exchange_rates_api. It allows users to get price tickers for most major currencies and directly convert fiat amounts to BTC.

Example usage:

package test;
import info.blockchain.api.exchangerates.*;

public class App
{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
    {
        // get the Exchange object
        ExchangeRates exchange = new ExchangeRates();
        
		// get the ticker map
        Map<String, Currency> ticker = exchange.getTicker();
        BigDecimal BTCUSDsell = ticker.get("USD").getSell();

        // convert 5362 EUR to BTC
        BigDecimal EURToBTC = exchange.toBTC("EUR", new BigDecimal(53620));
        
        // convert 100,000,000 satoshi to USD
        BigDecimal BTCToUSD = exchange.toFiat("USD", new BigDecimal(100000000));
    }
}
