OpenExchangeRates - Live currency APIs

[Seal]

I was having a look into currency API's today for a project I have in the works. OpenExchangeRates offers a free currency API for general use. While reading about it, I came across a section in the FAQ referring to Bitcoin!!

I thought this might be of interest to a few of you here:

Tim Molter is putting OpenExchangeRate support into the next version of his XChange Java library.
It's got very wide fiat coverage and Bitcoin support went in very recently.

To prevent spam the site owner requires that you have a unique API key per user (it's free to register) and with that you get 1000 updates a month ie hourly updates.

I intend to pick up Tim's work when it is released and use it in MultiBit.
