PyExchangeRates

Basic Python script that queries European Central Bank (ECB): https://api.exchangeratesapi.io/latest,
reshapes it to Basware-JSON and posts it to BaswareAPI.

Usage

Requirements

Python 3.7 and the requests package, e.g.: python -m pip install requests

Configuration

1. Add the basic unit structure together with their base-currency in the companies dictionary.
2. Add the BaswareAPI credentials in the auth tuple - NB, username and password should still be surrounded by '.
3. If the BaswareAPI to use is not Test, then update basware_exchange_rate_url with the correct URI

Execution

Run main.py, e.g. python main.py

Output

The script will not output anything to the console, but the result will be that the most recent ECB exchange rates will be posted to Basware API.
They should appear within Basware P2P within a short timeframe (<5 mins).

Logging

• the script will keep the most recent execution in as logs/rates.log
• the most recent BaswareAPI response is saved as api_response.txt
• the most recent fetched exchange rates are saved as exchange_rates.json
