Certainly! Here's a simplified example of a currency converter script in Python:
python
Copy code
import requests
def convert_currency(amount, from_currency, to_currency):
"""
Converts an amount from one currency to another.
Args:
amount
(float): The amount to be converted.
from_currency
(str): The currency code of the original currency.
to_currency (str): The currency code of the desired currency.
Returns:
float: The
converted amount.
"""
url =
f"https://api.exchangerate-api.com/v4/latest/{from_currency}"
response =
requests.get(url)
data =
response.json()
conversion_rate =
data['rates'][to_currency]
converted_amount = amount * conversion_rate
return converted_amount
# Example usage
amount = 100.0 #
Amount to be converted
from_currency = "USD" # Original currency code
to_currency = "EUR" # Desired currency code
converted_amount = convert_currency(amount, from_currency,
to_currency)
print(f"The converted amount is: {converted_amount}
{to_currency}")
In this script, the convert_currency() function takes an amount, the currency code of the original currency, and the currency code of the desired currency as input. It uses an API (in this case, exchangerate-api.com) to fetch the latest exchange rates and performs the conversion based on the retrieved data. The function returns the converted amount.
The example usage section demonstrates how to use the function by providing a sample amount, original currency code, and desired currency code. It then prints the converted amount with the desired currency code.
Please note that this is a basic example and doesn't handle all possible scenarios, such as error handling or extensive error checking. In a production environment, you may need to enhance the script with additional features and error handling based on your specific requirements.
