<a href="https://rb.gy/y5awd"> currency converter using chimoney</a>

<p> Integration Steps (Using javascript and html as an Example): </p>


<p><b>Step 1: Obtain API Key</b></p>
<p>Register on Chimoney and obtain your API key in the developers portal </p>
<p>Follow this tutorial on how to get the get started with chimoney api and developer portal</p>
<p>For this tutorial we will be using the convert local currency amount to USD endpoint this is the url for that https://api.chimoney.io/v0.2/payouts/mobile-money
</p>

<p><b>Step 2: user interface</p></b>

We will create a small interface for easier integration with our api key the interface will provide a way for us to pass the two parameters that is the amount and the country code that are required for the endpoint.

<img src="./interface.png" alt="currency converter interface ">

<xmp>
<body>
<div class="title">
<h2>Get usd amount in Local</h2>
</div>
<div class="country">
sample country codes
<ul>
<li>Kenya code : KES</li>
<li>Nigeria code: NG</li>
<li>Ghana code: GHN</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="form">
<label>Country symbol</label>
<input type="text" id="symbol"> <br/> <br/> //input tags
<label>Amount </label>
<input type="text" id="amount"><br/><br/> //input tags
</div>
<div class="button">
<button onclick="convert()">Convert</button> //calls the convert function
</div>
<div id="result"></div>
</body>
</xmp>

The major parts of this code is this line <xmp><button onclick="convert()"></xmp>Convert</button>
Which on click calls the convert method which is where we have our api function



<p><b>Step 3: Initialize Chimoney</p></b>

<p></p>Let's now dive into the real part we will be using javascript for this and use the fetch in built method
<p></p>function convert () { //function triggered on click the
<p></p>const countrySymbol = document.getElementById('symbol').value; // this are to passed as parameter to the endpoint and the are keyed in by the user
<p></p>const amountInUSD = document.getElementById('amount').value;

<p>const options = { // fetch method takes to params that is the options and url so lets define the options
<p>method: 'GET', // this is the method used get method retrieves data
<p>headers: { // takes in our api key as application json
<p>accept: 'application-json',
<p>'X-API-KEY': "f53b14db7658d93aeb2f8589838b87e01d730d82b9c73e9878065452902790b7" //for best practices save your api key in the .env file
<p>}
<p>};
<p>const apiUrl = 'https://api.chimoney.io/v0.2/info/usd-amount-in-local?destinationCurrency=USD&amountInUSD=1' //pass the url to the endpoint where data is to bne fetched
<p>fetch(apiUrl, options) //as we said earlier fetch takes two params pass them here, you can also use the axios method.it's also safe to test your codes in the sandbox/postman before coding it
<p>.then(response => response.json())
<p>.then(response => { document.getElementById('result').innerText = `Result: ${JSON.stringify(response)}`; ///we stringify the response we get so that it becomes user friendly then we render it under the result div
<p>})
<p>.catch(err => console.error(err));//if the response is not of status 200 a descriptive error will be returned
<p>}


<p><b>Step 4: Make a conversion</b>
<p>Click on the covert button and the result will be displayed

<p><b>Step 5: Handle Errors</b>

<p>Implement error handling to manage API responses:
<p>javascript
<p>.catch(err => console.error(err)); //this will make it easier to debug your code
