Coinbase Exchange Rate Worker

Automatically fetches and updates currency exchange rates from Coinbase, supporting both fiat and cryptocurrency pairs.

Installation​

import '@unchainedshop/plugins/worker/update-coinbase-rates';

Purpose​

Coinbase provides real-time exchange rates for a wide variety of currencies including cryptocurrencies. This worker:

  • Fetches the latest rates from the Coinbase API
  • Uses your system's default currency as the base
  • Updates product price rates with a 5-minute expiration
  • Automatically schedules itself to run every minute

Auto-Scheduling​

When imported, this worker automatically schedules itself to run every minute to keep cryptocurrency rates up-to-date.

Manual Trigger​

You can also trigger an update manually:

mutation UpdateRates {
  createWork(type: "UPDATE_COINBASE_RATES") {
    _id
    status
  }
}

Supported Currencies​

Coinbase provides rates for:

  • Fiat currencies: USD, EUR, GBP, CHF, and many more
  • Cryptocurrencies: BTC, ETH, USDC, and hundreds of others

Only currencies that are enabled in your Unchained configuration will be updated.

Rate Expiration​

Rates are set to expire after 5 minutes, ensuring that:

  • Stale cryptocurrency rates are not used
  • The system falls back gracefully if the worker stops

Result​

{
  "ratesUpdated": 15
}
