Teaching myself API part 2. - Fiat to Crypto problem
 

I know that there's already another thread on this. But it's kind of polluted and I'm easily distracted. Plus, I like to think someone else might be learning from my questions.

The api docs clearly mention being able to perform a fiat exchange, however there are no examples offered of actually doing so.

Replacing the "currency from" field provided in their example with "fiat" or "USD" only wields a 404 error.

It seems making a usd to crypto exchange requires some more involved changes to the POST request, but they failed to properly document it when they added that feature.
I have even gone to the length of sending a GET request to /get_all_currencies; returning a list of all offered currencies. I had hopped they simply gave USD a weird name causing the aforementioned 404 error.

Disappointingly I was able to find USD correctly listed as USD

From what I can tell, the problem is most likely that they don't have "USD" as a currency. Try "USDT" or a similar tether token instead.

Or try an API call with /get_call_currencies to confirm if "USD" is one of their currencies.

The get call was the 1st thing I tried. ** Scroll up **

I'm having problems figuring out what I should try next.
