## How to call it through Zero

```sh

```

Example prompt: What's today's reference exchange rate from USD to VND? I want to convert 500 dollars to Vietnamese Dong.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a daily reference FX rate for Southeast Asian or Mekong-region currency pairs (e.g. VND, THB, KHR, MMK, LAK, MYR) at very low cost ($0.001 per call). Ideal for invoicing, trade cost estimation, budget conversion, and reporting where indicative daily rates are sufficient and real-time tick data is not required.

## Known failure modes

- Unsupported or unrecognized currency pair codes return an error
- Missing both 'pair' and 'from'/'to' fields causes a validation error
- Daily rate may be stale if refreshed once per day — not suitable for live trading
- Network or upstream data provider outage may return a 503 or empty response

## How this service works

FX rates (daily reference — not real-time). $0.004 per call. Send {"pair":"USDVND"}.

## Output

Returns the daily reference exchange rate for the requested currency pair, and optionally the converted value of a specified amount. Rate is a reference/indicative rate updated daily, not a real-time market rate.
