We're going to programmatically get currency rates? Base currencies to be supported are USD and EUR. Could you please recommend some services?
I know about ECB (http://www.ecb.int/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml) but it supported EUR only

i'm trying to understand the Stellar technology but i have some doubts about the Anchors.
As i understand it, the "key point" in transfer real money on the network is the Anchor. An Anchor is a trusted entity that can take real money and issue credits on the network, credits that can be transferred from an account to another and than exchanged back to real money from the Anchor.
So far so good... but
i read that you can also exchange your credits for another currency, different from the one that you deposited in exchange for you initial credits, from a different Anchor on the network.
Let's say i deposited 100 USD in Anchor1 and it issues credits for that amount in my account. Now i want to exchange those credits with Anchor2 for the equivalent amount in EUR.
If what i've written is right, how much does this operation cost to me?
I know about the transaction fee which is "a fraction of a fraction of a penny" but beside this, do the Anchor apply a fee as well?
What i'm really trying to understand is the point of view of the anchors, why should them integrate with the system? What are the advantages of being part of the network?
Thank you
Yes, there are different fees using different Anchors. As you stated, there is a small transaction fee in the Stellar network for exchanging assets, and it is well known and easily calculated. Refer to: https://www.stellar.org/developers/guides/concepts/fees.html.
When you trade tokens in the network between anchors, you are bound to the specific terms and fees of the Anchors themselves. Usually, there is a percentage fee in the withdraw operation to fiat currency or crypto wallets.
For example, in the Stronghold anchor you may withdraw in crypto, but there are fees. Most of the fiat anchors (for USD and EUR or other currencies) apply similar fees.
Stellar Anchoring Fees
Anchoring fees apply only to users moving Stronghold-issued assets on the Stellar network. Most users will not incur these fees and they do not apply to regular trading.
0% deposit fee
1.49% withdrawal fee of Stronghold-issued assets to non-Stronghold Stellar addressess
Anchoring fees apply to the following Stronghold-issued assets:
Bitcoin (BTC)
Ethereum (ETH)

I am looking for an API to allow customers to pay a service in bitcoins by inputting their credit card number or via bank transfer. Ideally the gateway would buy the bitcoins with the credit card and deposit them on a provided bitcoin wallet address.
I found some services like https://cex.io, but their api (https://cex.io/rest-api#place-instant-order) is not offering the payment through credit card option.
Any idea what would be the best way to implement something like this?
The https://cex.io IS the solution. However, the customer would have to spend the bitcoin - you cannot take a credit card, convert it Bitcoin and pay yourself. In essence you want to create a cash transaction from a credit card. Not possible I believe - nor legal possibly. The Bitcoin would have to go to the customer's wallet, and then THEY would need to send it to another Bitcoin address
I am trying to deploy my nodejs app to google cloud. To do that you need to set up your billing account. I live in India and I've read some blogs online saying that google doesn't accept debit cards from India because they require Verified By Visa authentication and google doesn't implement that. What can I do? Do I NEED to get a credit card (credit cards work apparently)
If you don't have a credit card, please try to sign up with your debit card (assuming it has the Visa or Mastercard logo) as per below information.
If it does not work and you have further issues, please contact Google Cloud Platform billing with questions, as it will require discussing sensitive financial information that you shouldn't post on Stack Overflow.
Q1: do you need a billing account to sign up for free trial?
Per the billing docs:
Do I pay anything for the free trial?
No, the trial is free and you will not be billed. When your trial ends, your account will be paused and you'll have the option to upgrade to a paid account.
Per the Google Cloud Platform free trial FAQ:
You Won’t be Billed
When you sign up for the free trial, you are asked to provide your credit card information. This information is used only to verify your identity and let us know you’re not a robot. Your credit card is not charged during your free trial unless you upgrade to a paid account.
Q2: will debit cards work or do you need to use a credit card?
Per billing docs, you can pay via debit cards if they have the Visa or Mastercard logo. Also:
The payment methods available to you will depend on your currency and country. You'll see what payment methods are available to you when you sign up for Google Cloud billing.
Note that instant verification mentioned below is only available for US-based bank accounts at the time of this writing (20 Sep 2015). Otherwise, you can verify your bank account via trial deposits.
For more details, see the help page:
Choose a payment method
A payment method is what you use to pay for your costs, such as a credit card or bank account. The payment methods available to you will depend on your currency and country. You'll see what payment methods are available to you when you sign up for Google Cloud billing.
Credit cards and debit cards
Credit card and debit card payments allow you to specify a credit or debit card that will be used as a primary or backup funding source for monthly automatic or manual payments. We accept debit cards with the Visa or MasterCard logo.
Note: Prepaid cards are not accepted for payment.
Bank account (also known as direct debit)
Bank account payments allow you to specify a bank account that will be used as the primary funding source for monthly automatic payments. Your account won't be active until you've verified your bank account. Verification of your bank account may take up to 10 days. For information about instant bank verification, see Verify your bank account with instant bank verification.
Backup credit cards
If your primary form of payment doesn't work for some reason, a backup credit card makes sure your services keep running.
#Misha Brukman gives nice answer for this question but i just want to append some more information. I have checked #Mishra Brukman's answer and try to active my free trial Google Cloud Platform account and add card information in payment method but its not work with normal card. I have tried with VISA card and Master Card but not working.
Now i spent more then 5 hours and then found that we can open(active) account by using VISI debit card or Master Card also but Please make sure that the card should be supported for international transaction.
I have added VISI debit card detail which is supported international transaction and it works fine for me.
Does anyone know of a web service where I can get price feeds and charts for the FTSE 100 and DOW Jones index?
I only need a delayed price feed not a real-time one.
It is for display on a public website so I assume we'll need a provider that we can pay to license the information?
Thanks,
Chris
If you don't need real time data, there is Google Finance.
For something a bit more professional, you can subscribe to Reuters DataLink.
There are also real-time data feeds from Reuters, but these are for heavy-weight players.
