It uses an algorithm to match parts of your text with known currency formats stored in an internal database. Do I need to do something to keep the rates up to date? No. Another Unit Converter automatically updates the rates on a daily basis. What is currencylayer and what do I need it for? [currencylayer](https://www.currencylayer.com) is a well known service that provides real-time and historical exchange rates for 168 world currencies. Another Unit Converter uses [currencylayer](https://www.currencylayer.com) to fetch updated daily rates for the supported currencies.
