individual_rates optional array Defines individual rates for the specified languages in the specified categories. Each item must contain the language and the rate parameters. The possible rate categories are the same as for the 'regular_rates' parameter.
currency optional string Defines the currency for which the whole report is generated. Acceptable values are: '$' (by default), '€', '¥', '£', 'A$', 'C$', 'Fr', 'CN¥', 'kr', 'NZ$', 'MX$', 'S$', 'HK$', 'kr', '₩', '₺', '₽', '₹', 'R$', 'R'.
