@nikhilsaraf is this still an open issue for someone to look at?

[nikhilsaraf]

Thanks for the comment. Yes, this is still open. @clD11 you want to take a shot at this issue?

Hi @nikhilsaraf, thanks for the reply. I'll give it a shot. I can start looking at it tonight and ask any questions. Do you have any pointers to get me going? I see the openexchangerates has a forever free plan, so guess I can start integrating with that as suggested.

@clD11 thats a great place to start. As reference code you could look at our “fiat” priceFeed implementation that uses the currencylayer API.
We want to create the same thing but for the open exchange rates API. Can call it “fiat-openxr”
