No key needed

Examples

“Hey Siri, Convert Currency”100 USD → EUR

Setup

  1. 1

    Create a shortcut

    Open the Shortcuts app and tap + to create a new shortcut. Name it “Convert Currency”.

  2. 2

    Ask for the inputs

    Add three “Ask for Input” actions: a Number for the amount, then Text for the “from” code (USD) and the “to” code (EUR).

  3. 3

    Fetch live rates

    Add “Get Contents of URL” with this address. It returns a USD-based rates table, no key needed.

  4. 4

    Read the two rates

    Add two “Get Dictionary Value” actions on the result: Value for “rates.FROM” and Value for “rates.TO” (substitute the codes from your inputs).

  5. 5

    Calculate and show

    Use a Calculate action for amount × (rateTo ÷ rateFrom), then “Show Result”. Optionally add it to Siri so you can just ask for it.
