Convertly includes authenticated currency conversion for products that need reliable money-like calculations alongside media workflows. Use it when your app needs to quote a price in another currency, normalize reporting totals, show account balances in a user’s local currency, or convert marketplace values without maintaining a separate currency service.Documentation Index

What it solves
Currency conversion is useful when a workflow needs a server-side result that can be audited, rate-limited, and tied to an API key. It is not just a browser calculator: each authenticated request can return the conversion path, apply plan-aware quotas, and trigger webhook events on supported plans.What it handles
| Capability | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Fixed-decimal amounts | Avoids common floating-point drift for money-like values. |
| Rate paths | Returns the conversion path used for direct or routed conversions. |
| Usage tracking | Applies plan-aware monthly and per-minute currency request limits. |
| Webhook events | Pro and higher tiers can receive currency.conversion.completed events. |
When to use it
Use the currency API for SaaS dashboards, invoicing helpers, marketplace quotes, reporting totals, client portals, internal operations tools, and automation that needs a trusted conversion result. If your product only needs a public currency calculator, use Convertly’s website tools. If your application needs authenticated usage, quota headers, idempotency, records, or webhooks, usePOST /api/currency/convert.
