How to Get a List of Available Currencies & Corresponding Countries using Java

Looking for metadata about common currencies? Our Currency API offers a quick and easy solution. Running our List Available Currencies API requires zero inputs and returns a detailed list of common global currencies such as EUR, USD, JPY, and much more. It provides each currencies’ symbol & name (in English), the country they are associated with, the country’s three letter & ISO two letter codes, and more. Below, I’ve included an example response model for your reference (including information about Japanese Yen):

    {
      "ISOCurrencyCode": "JPY",
      "CurrencySymbol": "¥",
      "CurrencyEnglishName": "Japanese Yen",
      "CountryName": "Japan",
      "CountryThreeLetterCode": "JPN",
      "CountryISOTwoLetterCode": "JP",
      "IsEuropeanUnionMember": false
    },

You can easily take advantage of this API by simply copying & pasting the ready-to-run Java code examples provided below to structure your API call. In addition, you’ll just need a Cloudmersive API key, which you can get for free by registering a free account on our website (free accounts provide a limit of 800 API calls per month & zero additional commitments).

Our first step is to install the API client. Let’s first add a reference to the repository in pom.xml:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>jitpack.io</id>
        <url>https://jitpack.io</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

And then let’s add a reference to the dependency in pom.xml:

<dependencies>
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.Cloudmersive</groupId>
    <artifactId>Cloudmersive.APIClient.Java</artifactId>
    <version>v4.25</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>

With installation complete, our next step is to add the imports to the top of our file:

// Import classes:
//import com.cloudmersive.client.invoker.ApiClient;
//import com.cloudmersive.client.invoker.ApiException;
//import com.cloudmersive.client.invoker.Configuration;
//import com.cloudmersive.client.invoker.auth.*;
//import com.cloudmersive.client.CurrencyExchangeApi;

And after that, we can call the function, suppling our Cloudmersive API key in the field indicated by the code comments:

ApiClient defaultClient = Configuration.getDefaultApiClient();
// Configure API key authorization: Apikey
ApiKeyAuth Apikey = (ApiKeyAuth) defaultClient.getAuthentication("Apikey");
Apikey.setApiKey("YOUR API KEY");
// Uncomment the following line to set a prefix for the API key, e.g. "Token" (defaults to null)
//Apikey.setApiKeyPrefix("Token");
CurrencyExchangeApi apiInstance = new CurrencyExchangeApi();
try {
    AvailableCurrencyResponse result = apiInstance.currencyExchangeGetAvailableCurrencies();
    System.out.println(result);
} catch (ApiException e) {
    System.err.println("Exception when calling CurrencyExchangeApi#currencyExchangeGetAvailableCurrencies");
    e.printStackTrace();
}
