This project simply shows fetching data from a RESTful API (https://exchangeratesapi.io/). This foreign exchange rates API allows us to retrieve current and historical foreign exchange rates published by the European Central Bank. Although, there are many types of queries mentioned on their website, we will be using latest?base=GBP as for the query string to keep this project simple. (Note that, base currency is set to GBP so, other listed currencies are based on GBP). Since we are bringing in a real world data and playing with it, I consider this project is a bit more complex than staying in the local environment. Once data is fetched, we filter our results and create a dynamic table element to display.
