Exchange Rate Feed

Web Service?

Any recommendations for a reputable / reliable currency exchange rate feed?

Don't need to make live requests; I just want to automate a nightly download over a simple HTTP request (an XML response would be ideal).

I know the major payment service providers (eg. Worldpay) provide them for their clients; but we don't currently need online payment facilities - just exchange rates!

Ta!

Depends on what rates you need. For me the rates from the European Central Bank are good enough.

They have a daily XML file at

Thanks - actually found that just a few minutes after posting - I was expecting to have to find a pay service, and that was why I was after opinions!

That ECB feed will do fine; i'll just have to do triangular conversion to get relative GBP exchange rates but that isn't a problem.
