Install

Download source zip No release zip yet

This is the repository archive. It installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow.

Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:

wp plugin install https://github.com/unirate-api/unirate-currency-converter/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
No built-in updater. New versions won't appear under Dashboard → Updates. Install new releases yourself, or let Git Updater track the repository.

WordPress plugin — live currency conversion in posts, pages, and blocks. Powered by UniRate API.

Features

  • Gutenberg block — drag-and-drop currency converter with block-editor sidebar controls.
  • Three shortcodes — [unirate_rate], [unirate_convert], [unirate_widget].
  • API key stays server-side — requests are proxied through /wp-json/unirate/v1/; the key is never exposed to visitors.
  • WP transient caching — 1-hour cache out of the box, zero extra database writes per page load.
  • Zero PHP runtime dependencies — uses wp_remote_get() only; no Composer packages needed on your server.

Installation

  1. Download the plugin zip from Releases and upload via Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, or install directly from the WordPress Plugin Directory.
  2. Activate via Plugins → Installed Plugins.
  3. Go to Settings → UniRate and enter your UniRate API key.

Shortcodes

[unirate_rate from="USD" to="EUR"]

Server-rendered exchange rate at page load.

1 USD = 0.9235 EUR

[unirate_convert from="USD" to="EUR" amount="100"]

Server-rendered converted amount.

92.35 EUR

[unirate_widget from="USD" to="EUR" amount="1"]

Interactive currency converter. Visitor enters an amount, clicks Convert, and the result loads instantly via the local REST proxy — no API key exposed.

Gutenberg block

Search for UniRate Currency Converter in the block inserter (Widgets category). Use the sidebar panel to set:

  • Display style — widget / rate / converted amount
  • From / To currency — 3-letter ISO codes
  • Amount

REST endpoints

The plugin registers these endpoints on your site (all GET, public):

Endpoint Params Response
/wp-json/unirate/v1/rate from, to {"rate": 0.9235}
/wp-json/unirate/v1/convert from, to, amount {"result": 92.35}
/wp-json/unirate/v1/currencies — {"currencies": ["USD", "EUR", ...]}

Your API key is read from wp_options server-side — it never appears in these responses or in page HTML.
