# Exchange Rates
This project is a Go-based API server that retrieves and caches exchange rate data and currency lists from external APIs. It is designed to minimize API calls to external services by using an in-memory caching system that refreshes data every hour.
## Prerequisite
- Go version 1.23.3
## Steps to Run the Application
1. Set the APP_ID Environment Variable:
- On Linux/Mac:
```bash
export APP_ID="your_api_key"
```
- On Windows (PowerShell):
```powershell
$env:APP_ID="your_api_key"
```
2. Run the Application:
```bash
go mod tidy
go run main.go
```
The server will now use the APP_ID from the environment variable, making it more secure and configurable.
