boxr 1.0.1
An Open Exchange Rate Client
Keywords: foreign exchange rates

BOXR
====

BOXR is a Better Open Exchange Rate client -- at least better than I was
able to find because this one is maintained.

Install
-------

::

    $ pip install boxr

Usage
-----

Boxr maps 1:1 with the OXR api documented here:
https://docs.openexchangerates.org/docs/. This means
https://openexchangerates.org/api/latest.json maps to ``boxr.latest()``,
and https://openexchangerates.org/api/historical/:date.json maps to
``boxr.historical(date)``.

In short

-  Routes map to function names, e.g. ``/latest.json`` -> ``latest()``
-  Path params map to function arguments, e.g.
   ``/historical/:date.json`` -> ``historical(date)``
-  Query params map to keyword arguments, e.g.
   ``/time-series.json?start=2017-01-01&end=2017-01-05`` ->
   ``time_series(start="2017-01-01", end='2017-01-05')``

Also note that all endpoints return ``requests`` `response
objects <http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/advanced/#request-and-response-objects>`__,
so things like validation of request or formatting the response can be
done by interacting with the response object.

Example usage
-------------

.. code:: py

    from boxr import Boxr

    boxr = Boxr(app_id='your_app_id')

    # All calls return a `requests` Response object
    latest = boxr.latest()

    # And thus we get the json
    result = latest.json()

Contributing
------------

I would like this package to always be up to date with the OXR http API.
If this is someday not the case please open a Pull Request or open an
issue about the noncompliance.
