Missing LKR (Sri Lankan Rupee) Currency in Frankfurter API #164
Description
Description:
The Frankfurter API currently does not include LKR (Sri Lankan Rupee) in its supported currency list. This causes issues for applications that rely on Frankfurter for currency conversion involving LKR, as conversion requests fail or return incomplete data.
Steps to Reproduce:
Send a GET request to the API endpoint:
https://api.frankfurter.app/latest?from=LKR&to=USD
Observe the response indicating an unsupported currency.
Expected Behavior:
The API should return valid exchange rates for LKR to other supported currencies (e.g., USD, EUR, JPY).
Actual Behavior:
The API returns an error indicating that LKR is not a supported currency.
Impact:
Applications depending on Frankfurter for multi-currency conversions cannot process transactions involving LKR.
This affects user experience for Sri Lankan users or businesses dealing with Sri Lankan Rupees.
Environment:
API Version: latest
Endpoint: https://api.frankfurter.app/
Date observed: 2025-11-04
Suggested Fix:
Add LKR (Sri Lankan Rupee) to the list of supported currencies by sourcing its rates from a reliable provider such as the European Central Bank or another trusted exchange rate source.
