## 💬 Description

Every day the European Central Bank (ECB) published currency conversion rates between a wide range of currencies - and we extract them.

## 🤑 Use Case

Obviously extremely helpful if you have different things in different currencies. An example is that LinkedIn runs marketing spend in USD while Meta works in local currencies. If you want something comparable you need daily currency rates.

## 🛠️ Setup

This is one of the simplest Connectors on Less. Hopefully, you’ll agree!

### Step #1: Input a start date

All you need to do is to input a start date. The start date should be in the following format: yyyy-mm-dd (example: 2022-01-31). You will get daily records and if you schedule your ECB Connector to run daily, we’ll add one row every day for each currency pair you’re extracting.

Other than that, just select the tables you want to output.
