# exchange
[](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/asvvvad/exchange)
Go library for current & historical exchange rates, forex & crypto currency conversion, fluctuation, and timeseries using the new [Free foreign exchange rates API](https://exchangerate.host/#/) by [arzzen](https://github.com/arzzen/) ([github](https://github.com/arzzen/exchangerate.host))
## Features:
- Currency conversion, historical & current exchange rates, timeseries and fluctuations
- No authentication/token needed!
- Select any base currency
- 171 forex currency and 6000+ cryptocurrency!
- Caching (optional, default) using [go-cache](https://github.com/patrickmn/go-cache)
- Easy to use:
## Usage:
> #### `go get -u github.com/asvvvad/exchange`
```go
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/asvvvad/exchange"
)
func main() {
// Create a new Exchange instance and set USD as the base currency for the exchange rates and conversion
ex := exchange.New("USD")
// convert 10 USD to EUR
fmt.Println(ex.ConvertTo("EUR", 10))
// You can convert between 171 fiat and +6000 cryptocurrency aswelL!
// convert 10 USD to BTC
fmt.Println(ex.ConvertTo("BTC", 10))
// convert 10 USD to EUR at 2012-12-12 (date must be in the format YYYY-MM-DD)
fmt.Println(ex.ConvertAt("2012-12-12", "EUR", 10))
// Get the available forex/fiat codes ([]string)
forexCodes, _ := ex.ForexCodes()
// Get the available crypto codes ([]string)
// Warning: +6000
cryptoCodes, _ := ex.CryptoCodes()
// Get the forex codes data, includes code and description.
forexData, _ := ex.ForexData()
// Get the crypto codes data, includes code and description.
// Warning: +6000
cryptoData, _ := ex.CryptoData()
// loop through the forex cpdes
for _, code := range forexCodes {
// print the forex codes data in the format: USD: US Dollar
fmt.Println(code+":", forexData[code]["description"])
}
// Change the base currency to euro
ex.SetBase("EUR")
// Get the latest exchange rates with all currencies (Base is EUR)
fmt.Println(ex.LatestRatesAll())
// Get the latest rates again, this time it will be loaded from in-memory cache
// Cache last till midnight GMT because it's the time exchangerate.host update the rates
fmt.Println(ex.LatestRatesAll())
// disable caching
ex.SetCache(false)
// Get the latest rates with multiple currencies, not all (USD and JPY only)
fmt.Println(ex.LatestRatesMultiple([]string{"USD", "JPY"}))
// Get the exchange rates at 2012-12-12 but only with USD
fmt.Println(ex.HistoricalRatesSingle("2012-12-12", "USD"))
// Get historical rates between 2012 12 10 and 2012 12 12 for JPY and GBP
fmt.Println(ex.TimeseriesMultiple("2012-12-10", "2012-12-12", []string{"USD", "JPY"}))
// Get the fluctuation between 2012 12 10 and 2012 12 12 with USD
fluctuation, _ := ex.FluctuationSingle("2012-12-10", "2012-12-12", "USD")
// Print the change
fmt.Println(fluctuation["change"])
}
```

This is my first Go library and I had trouble with JSON parsing (and I still do, didn't use bitly/simplejson to reduce dependencies) Theres a lot of room for improvement
