quotes.csv and IDR?

subkey9 Jan 2010 8:13 AM
Hey there,

When I try to use quotes.csv to get a conversion rate between IDR and USD I get 0.0001, which makes me think perhaps there is no data for this... or maybe I'm doing something wrong? Any ideas?

Thanks!

The result is correct indeed: one IDR is very small compared to USD. I guess what you want is to convert USD to IDR. What I got was about 9285. One divide by that number is close to 0.0001, your earlier result.

On a side note, I wonder how to increase the precision for IDRUSD, because if more significant digits were shown, you could see that it actually makes sense.
