Hi all

Is there any website which can provide us free currecny coverter.I found some good websites but some of them provide limited time service and some of them will display an advertising banner. Please let me know if there is any website which can provide free service without displaying any banner.

And also please let me know that how can we get up to date exchange rate. I think there is some organization which will manage exchange rate everday. If we make the most upto date exchange rate then we can make our own currency coverter.

Thank You

most exchange sites I know of require subscription to receive their permission to extract data from their site.

xe.com provides free service, provided you are not extracting from their pages.

Good point you bring up. Most sites that actually show you the current exchange rates will explicility say in their terms of service, that unauthorized leeching of their content is prohibited.

xe.com even has comments in their html saying stuff like "If you are reading this then you are probably stealing our content" and alike :wink:
