Issues with Fetching Exchange Rates from Floatrates.com Website

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by DD-22081100-0 2

Recently, I've been encountering errors when trying to fetch exchange rates from the Floatrates.com website in Business Central. While investigating, I noticed that the XML feeds webpages for various currencies such as BWP, AFN, etc. on Floatrates.com are displaying errors.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? If so, has anyone found a solution or workaround? Additionally, can anyone recommend alternative websites or services that provide daily exchange rate data and are compatible with Business Central?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

    Hi, I tried it briefly and it seems to be fine.
     
    I have tested another free service before, I hope it can give you some help.

    Personally I haven't had this issue as it seems their feed is working fine for the more popular currencies, and I'm only using those. Unfortunately, Float rates is the best source for free feeds, as an alternative you can try the feeds that central banks provide as well. For example, European Central Bank, the Bank of Canada and so on all have free feeds.
