This module fetches currency rates from https://www.alphavantage.co and provides data to Finance::Quote to convert the first argument to the equivalent value in the currency indicated by the second argument.
This module is the default currency conversion module for a Finance::Quote object.
https://www.alphavantage.co requires users to register and obtain an API key, which is also called a token.
The API key may be set by either providing a alphavantage hash inside the currency_rates hash to Finance::Quote->new as in the above example, or by setting the environment variable ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY.
Use of https://www.alphavantage.co is governed by any terms & conditions of that site.
