Hey Robert

I don’t think such a web-service exists. I integrate directly with a database to enable the web-widgets.

Perhaps you can get the value by doing a web-request from your application and parsing the result?

This is great resource. Thank you very much.

I am looking for a web service that supplies the latest interest rate. I am writing an Insurance Program that need to use the interest rate. Currently I have to enter this manually. Can you point me in the right direction as to where I can find a websiervice that will supply the interest rate.

@Marius

I agree those are useful.

I’ll have a look if I can add a table for exchange rates.

Can you add the following to your “Latest Rates” table:
Exchange Rates:
R/$US
R/ GB pond
R/euro
Oil Price per Barrel

I want to display all the rates as a one pager on my PC every day.
