Hi there,
I have a requirement from an e-commerce customer who sells products in foreign currencies. They want to integrate xe.com http://www.xe.com/xecurrencydata/specifications.php API with Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013R2.
How can we do that?
Is it via web services?
Thanks!
Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013R2

Hi Franz,
have you tried to connect Xe with business Central? does it still require all that coding suggested in your answer. is there a way to connect it similar to the video in the link below - similar to linking float rates, where you add a link then do the mapping.

Thanks Jonathan
xe api provides web services, which can be consumed in nav code.
for consuming external web services follow

Basically, you will need to do one-time integration with XE, using their web service.
The question is, would this data be correct for your purposes. If you implement your solution in one country, it is enough to make an integration with this country's Central Bank online service - you will have all currency rates, related to this country's currency. And, this will be a free service :-) after you will setup similar API connection with Central Bank's service.
Using XE is reasonable if you go to multiple countries with same solution, your will save on integration costs in each country - is it your case? If not, I would just recommend integration with your Central Bank (if it is not even part of your localization).
