UniRate for Statamic

A Statamic v5 addon that brings live currency exchange rates, conversion, supported-currency lists, and VAT rates into your Antlers templates — powered by the UniRate API.

Installation

composer require unirate/statamic

The addon's service provider is auto-discovered. Publish the config if you want to override the defaults:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=unirate-config

Set your API key in .env:

UNIRATE_API_KEY=your-key-here

Antlers tags

{{ unirate:rate }}

{{-- Single rate --}}
1 USD = {{ unirate:rate from="USD" to="EUR" }} EUR

{{-- As a pair, with graceful error handling --}}
{{ unirate:rate from="USD" to="GBP" }}
    {{ if error }}Unavailable{{ else }}{{ rate }}{{ /if }}
{{ /unirate:rate }}

{{-- Loop every rate for a base currency --}}
{{ unirate:rate from="USD" }}
    {{ currency }}: {{ rate }}
{{ /unirate:rate }}

{{ unirate:convert }}

$100 USD ≈ €{{ unirate:convert from="USD" to="EUR" amount="100" }}

{{ unirate:currencies }}

{{ unirate:currencies }}
    <option value="{{ code }}">{{ code }}</option>
{{ /unirate:currencies }}

{{ unirate:vat }}

{{ unirate:vat country="DE" }}
    {{ country_name }} VAT: {{ vat_rate }}%
{{ /unirate:vat }}

All tags fail gracefully: on any API error a single tag renders nothing, and a tag pair exposes an {{ error }} variable so you can present a fallback.

Using the client directly

The addon registers a singleton UniRate\Statamic\UniRateClient you can inject or resolve in your own code:

use UniRate\Statamic\UniRateClient;

$client = app(UniRateClient::class);

$rate       = $client->getRate('USD', 'EUR');       // 0.92
$allRates   = $client->getRate('USD');              // ['EUR' => 0.92, ...]
$converted  = $client->convert('EUR', 100, 'USD');  // 92.5
$currencies = $client->getSupportedCurrencies();    // ['USD', 'EUR', ...]
$vat        = $client->getVatRates('DE');           // ['country_name' => 'Germany', 'vat_rate' => 19.0]

Configuration

config/unirate.php:

Key	Env	Default
api_key	UNIRATE_API_KEY	—
base_url	UNIRATE_API_BASE_URL	https://api.unirateapi.com
timeout	UNIRATE_TIMEOUT	10

Error handling

The client throws UniRate\Statamic\UniRateException with the HTTP status as the exception code:

Status	Meaning
400	Invalid request parameters
401	Missing or invalid API key
403	Endpoint requires a Pro subscription
404	Currency not found or no data available
429	Rate limit exceeded
503	Service unavailable

Historical endpoints (getHistoricalRate) are Pro-gated and return 403 on the free tier.

Testing

composer install
./vendor/bin/phpunit

The suite mocks all HTTP traffic — no live API calls or key required.
