Well, searching Google for conversion+rate or exchange+rate will bring up
dozens of websites that do this. It should be easy to find one and figure
out how you need to call it to get the results that you want. The following

As for figuring out whether it is the first session of the day, just keep a
application variable with the last date you got the conversion rate and see
if it is equal to the current date.
