EasyInvoice - Display USD Values for All Invoices Using API Conversion Data

Problem

Easy Invoice currently only displays USD totals for invoices denominated in USD/stablecoins, with an asterisk noting "Invoices not denominated in USD aren't used for this calculation" (#143). This means:

• Users cannot see the USD value of unpaid crypto-denominated invoices
• Dashboard totals are incomplete and don't reflect the true value of their invoice portfolio
• No conversion data exists yet for unpaid invoices, subscriptions, and recurring payments

Proposed Solution

Fetch real-time conversion data from the Request Network API for all non-USD invoices to display accurate USD values.

Implementation:

• Use the Request API's GET /request/{requestId} endpoint which includes conversion information
• Implement pagination for invoice tables to manage API request volume
• Cache conversion rates on the frontend to minimize redundant API calls
• Only fetch conversion data for non-USD denominated requests

Note: This can be implemented using individual GET /request/{requestId} calls for each invoice since Easy Invoice stores requests in its database and can paginate locally. However, performance would significantly improve with a batch endpoint (see related API issue below).

Considerations

API Dependencies:

• Requires https://github.com/RequestNetwork/request-api/pull/327
• Optional but recommended: New batch GET /requests endpoint (https://github.com/RequestNetwork/request-api/issues/331) would improve performance by reducing N network requests to 1 per page

Performance & Rate Limiting:

• Need smart caching and request throttling to avoid rate limits
• Implement pagination before rollout to prevent overwhelming the API
• Include proper error handling and loading states
