Welcome to the official Purchasing Power Parity API which makes your online products and services affordable around the world. Reach a broader audience by pricing your online goods based on PPP.

The API is available as library for JavaScript applications. All the installation instructions can be found in the official PPP API GitHub repository.
Use the API endpoint by sending a ISO country code as query parameter. Check out the following request which gets the PPP conversion rate from USD to Indonesian IDR.
Whether you use the PPP API via JavaScript or directly via the API endpoint, the response object -- most importantly the conversion factor -- will always be based on US dollars.
Here the conversion factor is ~. So in order to convert your price from USD to Indonesian IDR, compute times your USD price.
