# Open Exchange Connector

## Intro

Open Exchange provides real-time exchange rates and currency conversion data. Use Domo’s Open Exchange connector to find the exchange rate for a selected base currency type. To learn more about Open Exchange API, visit their website ([https://docs.openexchangerates.org/](https://docs.openexchangerates.org/ "https://docs.openexchangerates.org/") ). Domo also includes an advanced version of this connector that lets you retrieve lists of world currencies as well as historical data. For more information, see [Open Exchange Rates Advanced Connector](https://domo-support.domo.com/s/article/360043432873?language=en_US "Open Exchange Rates Advanced Connector").

The Open Exchange connector is a "Cloud App" connector, meaning it retrieves data stored in the cloud. In the Data Center, you can access the connector page for this and other Cloud App connectors by clicking **Cloud App** in the toolbar at the top of the window.

You can connect to Open Exchange in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Open Exchange connector user interface. To add DataSets, set update schedules, and edit DataSet information, see [Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector](https://domo-support.domo.com/s/article/360042926274?language=en_US "Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector").

## Connecting to Open Exchange

This section enumerates the options in the **Details** pane in the Open Exchange Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, **Scheduling** and **Name & Describe Your DataSet**, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in great detail in [Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector](https://domo-support.domo.com/s/article/360042926274?language=en_US "Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector").

### Details Pane

This pane contains a single menu from which you select a world currency.

<table border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" data-aura-rendered-by="33:195;a"><thead><tr><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p> Menu </p></th><th colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p> Description </p></th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p> Currency To Use As Base Value </p></td><td colspan="1" rowspan="1"><p> Select the currency you want to see exchange rates for. </p></td></tr></tbody></table>
