I am developing an application that uses FB Credits as a currency, however, my clients are going to be paying in their local currency (ILS, israeli sheqel).
I know the rate for 1 credit is 10 cents, however, the price in ILS seems to be changing according to changes in the exchange-rates of USD-ILS.
Is there a way to query Facebook Server to know the prices users are going to be charged in their local money? Like a way to query the pricelist. Many new users don't understand the concept of credits and i'd like to show them what they're about to pay in local money.

If you pay for your Facebook Ads subscription or set up your store in a currency other than US Dollars (USD) Wix converts part of your subscription in order to pay Facebook to run your ads. Learn about: Your store currency vs. your subscription currency.
In summary, Facebook Credits are a digital currency used on Facebook that allows users to purchase items in games or make other transactions. You can buy credits with real money, and businesses can use them as a payment method for goods and services.
Note that if a user chooses to make a purchase with a currency you have not defined in your og:product object, Facebook will automatically generate a price in their local currency by converting, based on the latest daily exchange rate from the first currency/price point pair you specified.
The Facebook Credits API doesn't have exchange rate information available. You could request this feature on their developer group. You're best bet would be to pull down an exchange rate feed (there are tons available if you search) and display that with a warning that it is just an estimated rate and that it is dependent on the actual exchange rate Facebook uses.
