Exchange rate using BTC

[Clay]

I'm trying to do a test exchange rate between USD and BTC but the API requires currencies to be in ISO 4217 numeric form.  So I use 840 for USD but the only code I found online for BTC was just 8.  So I tried using 8 but I received an error from the api call.  Here is the entire call:

payload

{

• "rateProductCode": "B",
• "destinationCurrencyCode": "8",
• "sourceAmount": "100.55",
• "sourceCurrencyCode": "840"

}

response

{

• "errorResponse": {
  • "status": 400,
  • "reason": "3001",
  • "message": "Missing or Invalid Request Parameters",
  • "details": [
    • {
      • "location": "destinationCurrencyCode",
      • "message": "destinationCurrencyCode missing/invalid"
      }
    ]
  }

}

Hi @Clay,

Please retry with below payload and let us know if there are any issues.

{

• "rateProductCode": "B",
• "destinationCurrencyCode": "008",
• "sourceAmount": "100.55",
• "sourceCurrencyCode": "840"

}

I don't know how 008 can be bitcoin though because the conversion rate it responds with is 115.4300

Hi @Clay,

008 is the ISO 4217 currency code for Albanian lek (ALL). There isn't one for bitcoin yet.
