BestChange Parser
BestChange Parser — is a tool that automatically tracks your exchanger's positions in the BestChange monitoring and adjusts the exchange rate to maintain the desired ranking position.
After configuration the system will:
retrieve current rates from BestChange via the API
find your exchanger's position among competitors
automatically adjust the rate to maintain the specified position
For example:
If you specified Target Position = 6, the system will make the rate 0.0001% betterthan the exchanger that is currently in 6th place.
Thus you will automatically maintain the desired position in the BestChange listing without manually changing rates.
General tab
In this tab the global parser settings are performed.
Enable Parser
Enable Parser — the global switch for parser operation.
Possible values:
Yes — the parser is enabled and running
No — the parser is disabled
If the switch is off — the parser will not process any direction, even if they are active.
BestChange API Key
BestChange API Key — the access key for the BestChange API.
Through this key the system receives:
the list of currencies
the list of exchangers
current rates
exchangers' positions
Where to get the API key
The API key is issued in the personal account and is described in the BestChange API documentation.
Example of a test key:

Your BestChange Changer ID
Changer ID — is the unique identifier of your exchanger in the BestChange system.
It is needed by the parser to:
determine your exchanger in the list
determine your current position
correctly compare rates with competitors
Where to find your Changer ID
You can get the ID via the BestChange API.
Open the link:
Example:
The API response will contain a list of exchangers, for example:
The number id is your Changer ID, which must be specified in the admin panel.
Directions tab
In the Directions tab you configure the exchange directions for which the parser will operate.
You can add an unlimited number of directions.
Direction
Direction — the exchange direction for which the parser will operate.
Example:
This means:
we give USDC ERC-20
we receive BTC
The parser will analyze competitors specifically for this direction on BestChange.
Target Position (1–40)
Target Position — the position in the BestChange ranking that must be maintained.
Allowed range:
Example:
This means:
the system will automatically change the rate so that your exchanger is in second place.
Operating algorithm:
the parser retrieves the list of exchangers for the direction
determines the rate of the exchanger at the required position
sets the rate 0.0001% more favorable
updates the rate once per minute
Active
Active — turns the parser on or off for a specific direction.
Possible values:
Yes — the parser is running
No — the direction is ignored
Important:
Even if the direction is active, the parser will not operate, if the global switch Enable Parser = No.
How the parser works
Operating algorithm:
A cron job is started.
The system sends a request to the BestChange API.
Receives the list of rates for the direction.
Determines your exchanger's position.
If the position is lower than specified — the system adjusts the rate.
All actions are recorded in the table:
It stores:
execution time
direction
retrieved rates
new position
rate changes
This allows to track the parser's operation and the history of changes.

The plugin BestChange Parser is paid.
