Good luck with that :)
I've been using their service and it's very reliable - but as you
say, there are not many currencies in that document. Their offices
are currently closed, but I'll call them up tomorrow and ask if
it's possible to get more into that document.
Well, we'll see what happens then... Thanks!

I actually might do that, relying on a bank's stability does not
seem a bad idea, but the list of currencies is very short. 15 or
something there... I need to be able to cover virtually anything.

The Central Bank of Iceland maintains a free service that allows
you to fetch the current exchange rate of the Icelandic Krona
(ISK) against other currencies. If you're adventurous, I guess
you could use that as your data source and extrapolate the
exchange rates you need, using ISK as the base for your
calculations.
Current exchange rate:

If you are actually wild enught to try this, then - my hat off to
you - let me know and I'll translate the xml tags for you.

Hi
http://www.oanda.com/convert/fxdaily
I don't know if there's a "machine readable" version, neither
the costs, nor the reliability, but it's the site I used to use
to do this kind of stuff before using the Dashboard widget. BTW
what about the site the dashboard widget uses?

we use xe.com.
we get an xml conversion file once per day that we parse and
then have methods to handle conversions. it's about 400 USD
per annum in think, which is very good value for a reliable
service.
Ouch...
we tried and tested quite a few free services and, well, you
get what you pay for.
Was afraid of that...
Thanks
