Maybe I misunderstand the problem, but with option (A) even if I don't know what timezone they use, I should get a consistent result if I ask the API for an exchange rate for a specific time (X) on a specific day. Maybe I don't know what timezone X is (as you say, only one publishes that info), but X is always going to be X from the POV of the source (i.e. the API). (Similarly, if I in Europe ask the API for a rate at, let's say, 14:00, and you in New York ask for the rate at 14:00, we should get the same result. And I don't mean asking at 14:00 hours but asking for the rate at 14:00) If I understand (B) correctly, someone moving from Japan to the US would suddenly get different results, and I think making the result dependent on where you are is a bad idea. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
