How to Monitor Exchange Rates with Copilot

Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Finance Data tool:
- In Copilot Chat: "Fetch current exchange rates for EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and USD/JPY"
- Copilot returns structured rate data with timestamps
- Ask: "Generate a currency converter component using these rates"
Example Prompt
Try this with Copilot using the Finance Data tool
Fetch current exchange rates for the major currency pairs. Return as structured JSON with base currency, quote currency, rate, and timestamp for use in my pricing engine.
Tips
- Include the timestamp in your query so your application can display data freshness to users
- Ask for a batch of currency pairs in one call rather than multiple sequential requests
- Copilot can generate currency formatting utilities alongside the rate data
