# Updating Rates

When using multi-currency, this endpoint is used to update the exchange rates for your account. When new rates are sent via this endpoint, the changes will reflect instantly on your store as the product prices are multiplied with the provided rates in real-time.

**Note:** This endpoint should only be used when using multi-currency. Please refer to our multi-currency guide prior to using this endpoint. Incorrect usage of these endpoints will result in a total outage of your personalization setup.

### Token

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.nosto.com/techdocs/apis/rest/other/updating-rates-using-the-rates-api.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
