Convert with Oanda FX Rates

What is this endpoint for?

This add-on endpoint ensures IFRS-compliant currency conversions for over 70 fiat pairs when a synthetic price is used in Fair Market Value Pricing. While synthetic prices can be generated in any fiat currency, this endpoint guarantees compliance for non-USD currencies. In low-liquidity cases, users request a synthetic price quoted in USD, then convert it into their desired fiat currency using this endpoint.
