Connect Fixer to clariBI with your access key to sync daily foreign-exchange-rate history for the currencies you choose, read-only, with auto-generated dashboards next to your business data.
What is Fixer?
Fixer is a foreign-exchange-rates API that publishes daily reference rates for more than 170 currencies, relative to a base currency.
clariBI reads Fixer through its REST API using your own access key: the daily rate for each currency you choose, against the euro base. Access is read-only, and clariBI never changes anything in your account.
For each day in your chosen window, clariBI requests that day from the historical endpoint and records the rate, building a daily time series per currency.
How to connect Fixer
- Open Data Sources in clariBI. In clariBI, go to Data Sources → Add Data Source, find Fixer, and paste your access key (free from fixer.io). The access key is Fernet-encrypted at rest.
- Choose currencies and history. Type the target currencies to track (for example USD, GBP, JPY) and choose how many days of history to pull. clariBI reads rates read-only.
- Sync, then get dashboards. clariBI syncs the daily rates, preprocesses them, and builds an insights dashboard. Ask "How did the dollar move against the euro this quarter?" and the AI engine queries the synced rates alongside your revenue and costs.
What you can analyze
- Daily exchange rate per currency against the euro
- Rate trend and volatility over your chosen window
- Relative moves across the currencies you track
- Period-over-period change in a single currency
- Currency exposure lined up with billing dates
- Cross-source: FX moves → foreign revenue → reported margin
What gets synced
clariBI pulls daily exchange-rate history for the currencies you select through the Fixer REST API, lands it as a preprocessed dataset, and refreshes it on your schedule. Access is read-only.
For each selected currency, clariBI syncs the daily rate against the euro base, then builds an insights dashboard you can query, extend, or pull into reports.
clariBI only ever reads. It never changes anything in your Fixer account.
Questions across your other data
Once your records are synced, the AI engine can join them to the rest of your business data. A few examples:
| Pairing | Question | How clariBI answers |
|---|---|---|
| Fixer × Revenue | "How much of our revenue swing was currency, not volume?" | Planner: read daily FX rates from Fixer, align to foreign revenue by date, and split the change into rate versus volume. |
| Fixer × Costs | "Did the exchange-rate move raise our supplier costs this month?" | Planner: read the rate for the supplier currency, join to purchase costs by date, and report the FX-driven cost delta. |
