A premium, high-performance developer currency exchange rate platform built on Laravel 13, React 19, and Redis.
🌐 Overview
ghostcompiler-api is a complete developer API and dashboard solution modeled after Open Exchange Rates. The application pulls and processes daily international currency values for over 150 countries, optimizes performance using high-speed Redis database caching, logs query analytics, and exports developer API credentials.
Key Features
Secure API Tokens: Full CRUD token lifecycle manager inside the developer panel. Custom base fallback currencies (defaults to INR system-wide).
Daily Sync Engine: Automated daily command retrieves live values and updates local metadata (currencies, countries, names, rates).
To sync live exchange rates, you must configure your Open Exchange Rates app credentials. You can register and generate an API access token by visiting Open Exchange Rates Signup & Key Generator.
4. Database Migrations
php artisan migrate
5. Generate Route Definitions
Ensure Wayfinder compiles route types:
npm run build
6. Run Sync Command
Sync currencies and rates from providers:
php artisan app:sync-currencies
7. Run Server
Start the concurrent servers (Laravel development server + Vite dev watcher):
npm run dev
🧪 Testing and Formatting
To verify the features remain stable, execute feature assertions:
