Advanced tools
Golang API to check currency details and exchange rates.
At this time, 200 currencies are available and include cryptocoins.
localhost:8080/health
Just returns a 200 indicating that the api is live.
localhost:8080/all
Returns a JSON dictionary of available currencies in the format:
<currency-code>:<currency-common-name>
Ex:

"btc": "Bitcoin",
"usd": "US Dollar",
"mxn": "Mexican Peso",
...
}
localhost:8080/exchange/<currency-code>

{
"date": "2025-02-18",
"eur": {
"1inch": 3.9004839,
"aave": 0.0040031729,
"ada": 1.35441158,
"aed": 3.84382391,
...
}
}
Ensure you have built your binary:
go build -o currency_api .
and then run it with:
./currency_api
Or just run it with:
go run .
