The required parameters for a request include the base currency, base price, base country, target country, and target currency. These parameters are essential for comparing the purchasing power parity between two countries.
You can set your API key as part of the URL parameter by replacing <api_key>
with your actual API key in the URL format provided in the documentation: https://100088.pythonanywhere.com/api/v1/ppp/public/<api_key>
.
The “base country” represents the country associated with the base currency, while the “target country” is the country being compared against the base country in terms of Purchasing Power Parity (PPP). These parameters help in evaluating the relative price levels between two countries.
The accuracy of the data provided by the API depends on various factors, including the sources of data and the methodologies used for calculations. Dowell strives to provide reliable and up-to-date information, but users should also consider conducting their own research and verification when making important decisions based on the API data.
The frequency of PPP data updates may vary, but Dowell aims to update the data regularly to ensure its relevance and accuracy. Users can refer to the API documentation or contact support for information on data update schedules.

To utilize the Dowell Purchase Price Parity API (PPP) in Python, follow these simple steps:
requests
library, which helps in sending HTTP requests.api_key
with your actual key.requests.post()
method.Here’s the explanation of the code:
import requests # Import the requests library for making HTTP requests
api_key = 'your_api_key_here' # Replace 'your_api_key_here' with your actual API key
url = f'https://100088.pythonanywhere.com/api/v1/ppp/public/{api_key}' # Construct the API request URL
data = { # Prepare the data in dictionary format
"base_currency": "United States dollar",
"base_price": "100",
"base_country": "Germany",
"target_country": "United States",
"target_currency": "British pound"
}
response = requests.post(url, json=data) # Send a POST request to the API endpoint with the data
print(response.json()) # Print the response in JSON format to view the results
Output Explanation:
requests.post()
method sends a POST request to the API endpoint specified by the url
.json=data
parameter sends the data in JSON format with the request.response.json()
to view the results in a readable JSON format.
{
"success": true,
"message": "Expected values",
"price_in_base_country": "93.92401353 EUR",
"base_country": "Germany",
"target_country": "United States",
"target_price": "128.6630322328767 USD",
"calculated_price_base_on_ppp": "105.13958420267339 GBP"
}
Here’s the PHP example for utilizing the Dowell Purchase Price Parity API (PPP).
Obtain Your API Key:
YOUR_API_KEY
with your actual key in the code.Set Up the API Request:
Send the API Request:
file_get_contents()
function to send a POST request to the API endpoint with the data.
"United States dollar",
"base_price" => "100",
"base_country" => "Germany",
"target_country" => "United States",
"target_currency" => "British pound"
];
$options = [ // Set up options for the HTTP request
'http' => [
'method' => 'POST',
'content' => json_encode($data)
]
];
$context = stream_context_create($options); // Create a stream context
$result = file_get_contents($url, false, $context); // Send a POST request to the API endpoint with the data
echo $result; // Print the response
?>
The file_get_contents()
function sends a POST request to the API endpoint specified by the URL. The JSON-encoded data is sent with the request. The API processes the request and returns a response, which is echoed to display the results.
{
"success": true,
"message": "Expected values",
"price_in_base_country": "93.92401353 EUR",
"base_country": "Germany",
"target_country": "United States",
"target_price": "128.6630322328767 USD",
"calculated_price_base_on_ppp": "105.13958420267339 GBP"
}
To utilize the Dowell Purchase Price Parity API (PPP) in React, follow these simple steps:
1. Set Up Your React App:
2. Install Axios:
npm install axios
3. Obtain Your API Key:
'your_api_key_here'
with your actual API key in the code.4. Construct the API Request:
5. Prepare and Send the Request:
6. Display the Results:
Here’s the explanation of the code with code comments:
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import axios from 'axios';
const PPPComponent = () => {
const [result, setResult] = useState(null);
useEffect(() => {
const fetchData = async () => {
try {
const api_key = 'your_api_key_here'; // Replace 'your_api_key_here' with your actual API key
const url = `https://100088.pythonanywhere.com/api/v1/ppp/public/${api_key}`; // Construct the API request URL
const data = { // Prepare the data in object format
"base_currency": "United States dollar",
"base_price": "100",
"base_country": "Germany",
"target_country": "United States",
"target_currency": "British pound"
};
const response = await axios.post(url, data); // Send a POST request to the API endpoint with the data
setResult(response.data); // Set the response data to the 'result' state
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error fetching PPP data:', error);
}
};
fetchData();
}, []);
return (
PPP API Response:
{JSON.stringify(result, null, 2)}
{/* Display the result in a readable JSON format */}
);
};
export default PPPComponent;
After executing the code, the component will render the response from the PPP API in a readable JSON format. The result will contain the purchase price parity value, indicating the relative value of the base currency (United States dollar) compared to the target currency (British pound) in the specified conversion scenario (from Germany to the United States).
