ExchangeRate Convert Currency Documentation
Overview
The ExchangeRate Convert Currency node is part of the ExchangeRate integration in the Vantage workflow engine. Convert an amount between two currencies using live rates.

How It Works
- Receives input data from upstream nodes through configured input ports.
- Authenticates with ExchangeRate using your connected credentials.
- Executes the API operation with the provided configuration and input data.
- Returns the result through the output port for downstream processing.
Error handling is built in — if the API call fails, the node throws a descriptive error with the failure reason.
Input and Output
- Input: Accepts data in object or array format from upstream nodes.
- Output: Returns the ExchangeRate API response as structured data.
