Describe the feature

It would be great to have integrated the real market rate of LBP ( Lebanese Lira )

Thank you in advance

Currently we are limited to currency exchange rates provided by https://www.coingecko.com/

We would accept a PR that pulled in additional sources as long as those sources are clearly marked and the source is accurate and reliable.

Unfortunately there aren't many public API to my knowledge that reflects real LBP value vs USD besides yadio, all other exchange rates websites do not provide API , it would be messy to do html extract.

Google LBP rate is set by central bank, and that rate is "fake" unfortunately and many common converters use it as reference.

Therefore,yadio comes as closest to accurate and reliable source.

I've been using it personally for a while

It would be really nice if users could choose where the rates come from.
Coingecko and yadio would be a good starting point, maybe others can be added later.

Unfortunately coingecko uses google to get rates,and that rates for Lebanon LBP is not correct. There is a huge difference between reality and what central bank announces, does not reflect reality

Not to worry, we found a way to use Yadio #1373
