Historic Bank Rates

Wraps a simple scraper to retrieve the historic exchange rates. Returns the average rates for yesterday or any day specified and supported by the Central Bank of Kenya.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'historic_bank_rates'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install historic_bank_rates

scraper = HistoricBankRates::BankScrapers::CentralBankOfKenya.new
hbr = HistoricBankRates::Rates.new(scraper, Date.new(2016, 05, 30))
hbr.import! # => true

import! returns true if rates have been found. Might also throw HTTP errors. It will also return false when requesting rates for weekend days.

Update an instance's import_date and rerun the import process:

hbr.import!(Date.new(2015, 06, 30)) # => true

hbr.rate('KES', 'EUR') # => 112.2322

Get all available currencies:

hbr.currencies # => ['ZAR', 'USD', 'EUR', 'RWF'… ]

Get all rates

hbr.rates # => { 'ZAR'=>6.4373, 'USD'=>100.6606, … }
