ECBRates

This library fetches historic EUR rates from the European Central Bank (ECB).

It’s heavily inspired by the Elixir OpenExchangeRates library

Installation

The package can be installed by adding ecb_rates to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:ecb_rates, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
end

Configuration options

Please note that the library provides sensible defaults for all configuration options, so changing them is entirely optional.

config :ecb_rates, :cache_file, "/tmp/ecb_rates_cache.json" # must be writable
config :ecb_rates, :url, "https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-hist.xml"
config :ecb_rates, :cache_time_in_minutes, 1440 # 24 hours
