In this video, you'll learn how to call external APIs from Google Apps Scripts and parse the JSON response to get the data you want.

For learning purposes, I used fixer.io to get the exchange rates via API call.

You need to use URLFetch service to make the API request. This API returns a response. You need to parse the response using JSON.parse method.

Some API calls also return the response in XML. You need to use XMLservice to parse it.
