Google currency converter API - will it shut down with iGoogle? -


igoogle shutting down.

there (undocumented?) currency conversion api available urls like: http://www.google.com/ig/calculator?hl=en&q=1gbp=?usd

the base of url - google.com/ig - takes igoogle. api available after igoogle shuts down?

i having same issue described here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/19786423/2819754

i used @hobailey answer temporary fix until can update version or google decide proper api.

as google changed url

  https://www.google.com/finance/converter?a 

so fix found below.

  $amount = urlencode($amount);   $from_currency = urlencode($from_currency);   $to_currency = urlencode($to_currency);   $get = file_get_contents("https://www.google.com/finance/converter?a=$amount&from=$from_currency&to=$to_currency");   $get = explode("<span class=bld>",$get);   $get = explode("</span>",$get[1]);     $converted_amount = preg_replace("/[^0-9\.]/", null, $get[0]); 

thanks @hobailey little fix.
