How to get the PayPal exchange rate?

Hello)
There is some website where people sell/buy something. But that's not the point. The standard currency on the site is Euro. So, with the influx of users from different countries, it became necessary to implement multicurrency on the site. those. the user himself chooses in which currency the prices of the goods are shown to him and in which he pays.
For example, we sell a service to a client for 5/10/20/50 euros, but when paying, we are forced to issue an invoice in USD/RUB/MXN, etc. for the same amount. (for example, 5 euros = 5.502 USD). but as far as I know, pp takes another % for the conversion. And accordingly, prices should be set taking into account these%.
And so sobsno questions - Is it possible to get exchange rates through the PP api, and write them to your database? And how often is the course updated at the PP?
Thanks :)

in my opinion, there is no such thing in the API
, only how to convert
with the same exchange rate is bad stackoverflow.com/questions/1393385/currency-excha...
convert by xe.com+N% (calculate N% from 1-10 transactions) and on the registration page (paypal may charge additional interest, the price in your currency is indicative)
or try to bill them in other currencies, the commission is at your expense

Paypal still takes them 3% -5% for accepting payment.
updated at least daily,

Thanks for answers. Yes, the API only has a function for currency conversion.
I installed the api, it remains to figure out what and how it works there, and it will be possible to update the exchange rates in the database.
