getbestfx

getbestfx is a Python library for retrieving the best foreign exchange rates from various APIs. With getbestfx, developers can access reliable foreign exchange data to enhance their applications.

Installation

To install getbestfx, simply run:

pip install getbestfx

Usage

getbestfx provides a simple and straightforward interface for retrieving foreign exchange rates. To get started, import the getbestfx package and create an instance of the FXRates class:

from getbestfx import FXRates

fx = FXRates()

You can now use the get_best_rate method to retrieve the best available exchange rate for a given currency pair:

best_rate = fx.get_best_rate('USD', 'EUR')

By default, get_best_rate will search for the best rate among various API providers, such as ExchangeRatesAPI.io and Open Exchange Rates. You can also specify a provider to use:

best_rate = fx.get_best_rate('USD', 'EUR', provider='ExchangeRatesAPI')

You can get a list of available providers by calling the get_providers method:

providers = fx.get_providers()

Example

Here's a quick example of how getbestfx can be used to retrieve the best exchange rate:

from getbestfx import FXRates

fx = FXRates()

currency1 = 'USD'
currency2 = 'EUR'

best_rate = fx.get_best_rate(currency1, currency2)

print(f'The best exchange rate for {currency1}/{currency2} is {best_rate:.2f}')

This will output something like:

The best exchange rate for USD/EUR is 0.85

Conclusion

getbestfx makes it easy for Python developers to access reliable foreign exchange data. With a variety of API providers to choose from, getbestfx provides a flexible and customizable way to get the best exchange rate for your needs.
