Source: https://docs.openexchangerates.org/reference/alternative-currencies

This example demonstrates how to construct an HTTP GET request to the latest.json endpoint of the Open Exchange Rates API. It shows how to combine the 'base' currency, 'show_alternative' flag, and 'symbols' parameter to retrieve specific alternative and digital currency rates. Replace 'YOUR_APP_ID' with your actual API key.

```http
https://openexchangerates.org/api/latest.json
    ?app_id=YOUR_APP_ID
    &base=LTC
    &show_alternative=1
    &symbols=ETH,VEF,VEF_DIPRO,VEF_DICOM,VEF_BLKMKT,BTC,NEM
    &prettyprint=0

```http
GET https://openexchangerates.org/api/ohlc.json
  ?app_id=YOUR_APP_ID
  &start=2017-07-17T08:30:00Z

Source: https://docs.openexchangerates.org/reference/bid-ask-prices

Provides a JavaScript example using jQuery's `$.get` method to request bid-ask prices from the API. It logs the entire response data to the console. The `show_alternative: 1` parameter in the example seems to be a typo and should likely be `show_bid_ask: 1` based on the context.

```javascript
$.get('https://openexchangerates.org/api/latest.json', {app_id: 'YOUR_APP_ID', show_alternative: 1}, function(data) {

    ?app_id=[[app:app_id]]
    &base=CAD
    &symbols=AUD,GBP,EUR

### Connecting To The API

Source: https://docs.openexchangerates.org/reference/index

Accesses the API via simple HTTPS requests, returning data in JSON format. Supports various integration libraries and requires direct requests for fresh data.

```APIDOC
## Connecting To The API

We serve our data in JSON format via a simple URL-based interface over HTTPS, which enables you to use the rates in whichever way you require.

**Connection Types**

Any language or software that can make HTTP requests or fetch web addresses can access our API (for example, you can visit any of the API routes in your browser to verify they’re working as expected).

For your integration, you can use whichever library you require. This will vary depending on your development environment. There are guides and a wide range of open source integrations available, also covered in our documentation.

URLs (routes) are requested once over HTTPS, and deliver all their data in one go, just like a normal web request.

We do not currently support websockets, webhooks or any other keep-alive or push-notification style connections – in other words, when you want fresh data, you simply request it from our server. We're considering these methods for a future version of our API, so please email us if interested.

**URL Format**

The API base path is `https://openexchangerates.org/api/`.

API routes/endpoints are then appended to this base path, like so:

```http
https://openexchangerates.org/api/
                                  latest.json
                                  currencies.json
                                  historical/2013-02-16.json
```

Query parameters (such as your App ID, requested base currency, or JSONP callback) are appended as GET request parameters, for example:

```http
https://openexchangerates.org/api/latest.json
                                             ?app_id=YOUR_APP_ID
                                             &base=GBP
                                             &callback=someCallbackFunction
```

If your request is valid and permitted, you will receive a JSON-formatted response to work with. If something is wrong with the request, you will receive an error message.
```
