<p>ive been trying to work out what the best way of obtaining the exchange rate of a bitcoin or any other digital currency is via online resources for a website I want to build.</p>

<p>I've seen this question/answer here; <a href="https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/12364/displaying-price-in-btc-based-on-usd-exchange-rate">Displaying price in BTC based on USD exchange rate</a></p>

<p>So sure thats easy but what about other coins against the dollar or against bitcoins.  Am I going to have to obtain all this info from different sources?   </p>

If you are not actually trading, you can pull the price from multiple exchanges and show an average, since there is no such thing as *fixed price* for the exchange, preev.com is a nice converter that shows average of 4 sources which you can modify from the settings menu, it should give you an idea.
