A JavaScript/Node.js web crawlers to fetch currency exchange rates from Egyptian banks websites.
I've established an API to fetch data from the app, and here its features for now.
- Fetch :
- You can fetch data using this end point:
/api/fetch. this end point will return all the available data to you as a JSON response. - You can also request a specific bank to get data from, you can achieve that using this end point:
/api/fetch/{bankCode}and I'll list all available bank codes at the end.
- Info :
- That's pretty simple. using this end point
/api/info/It'll return to you the available data about the bank itself as a JSON, now it offers the full name of the bank in both English and Arabic and the URL of the currency exchange page on the bank's website. You can also request a specific bank with/api/info/{bankCode}.
Here's a list of the available bank codes for now, of course there will be more supported banks later.
