Usage

node ~/clawd/skills/exchange-rates/scripts/xe-rate.mjs <FROM> <TO> [AMOUNT]

Examples:

node ~/clawd/skills/exchange-rates/scripts/xe-rate.mjs USD INR        # 1 USD → INR

node ~/clawd/skills/exchange-rates/scripts/xe-rate.mjs THB INR 1000   # 1000 THB → INR

Output: JSON with amount, from, to, rate, converted, source, timestamp

Response Format

Present results cleanly:

• Show the converted amount prominently

• Include the unit rate (1 FROM = X TO)

• Mention source is XE.com mid-market rate

• For amounts > 1, show both unit rate and total conversion

Notes

• Uses Playwright + Browserless (CDP) to scrape XE.com

• Falls back to exchangerate-api.com if XE fails

• Currency codes: standard 3-letter ISO 4217 (USD, INR, EUR, GBP, THB, JPY, etc.)

• Rates are mid-market (not buy/sell spreads)

• Script takes ~4-5 seconds per lookup (browser overhead)
