gopenexchangerates

Open Exchange Rates client for Go. Doesn't do much.

Install

go get github.com/jagregory/gopenexchangerates

Usage

import (
  oxr "github.com/jagregory/gopenexchangerates"
)

xr := oxr.New("your-app-id")
err := rx.Populate()
if err != nil {
  // err
}
v, err := rx.Get("AUD") // 1.543

Populate fetches the exchange rates from Open Exchange Rates. Call this method whenever you want to update the cached copy of the rates. Be kind to Open Exchange Rates and don't hammer them.

// update exchange rates every 2 hours
go func() {
  for {
    rx.Populate()
    time.Sleep(2 * time.Hour)
  }
}()
