Overview

Package erapi is the library behind the erapi command line: the HTTP client, request shaping, and the typed data models for the ExchangeRate-API (open.er-api.com).

The Client here is the spine every command shares. It sets a real User-Agent, paces requests so a busy session stays polite, and retries the transient failures (429 and 5xx) that any public API throws under load.

Constants

View Source
const BaseURL = "https://" + Host

BaseURL is the root every request is built from.

View Source
const DefaultUserAgent = "erapi/dev (+https://github.com/tamnd/erapi-cli)"

DefaultUserAgent identifies the client to ExchangeRate-API.

View Source
const Host = "open.er-api.com"

Host is the site this client talks to.

Types

type Client

type Client struct {
	HTTP      *http.Client
	UserAgent string
	// Rate is the minimum gap between requests. Zero means no pacing.
	Rate    time.Duration
	Retries int
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Client talks to open.er-api.com over HTTP.

func NewClient

func NewClient() *Client

NewClient returns a Client with sensible defaults: a 30s timeout, a 1s minimum gap between requests, and five retries on transient errors.

func (*Client) Get

func (c *Client) Get(ctx context.Context, url string) ([]byte, error)

Get fetches url and returns the response body. It paces and retries according to the client's settings. The caller owns nothing extra; the body is read fully and closed here.

func (*Client) GetConversion

func (c *Client) GetConversion(ctx context.Context, base, target string, amount float64) (*Conversion, error)

GetConversion fetches the rate for base→target and computes amount * rate.

func (*Client) GetRates

func (c *Client) GetRates(ctx context.Context, base string, limit int) ([]*Rate, error)

GetRates fetches the latest rates for base and returns one Rate per currency.

type Conversion

type Conversion struct {
	Base      string  `kit:"id" json:"base"`
	Target    string  `json:"target"`
	Amount    float64 `json:"amount"`
	Result    float64 `json:"result"`
	Rate      float64 `json:"rate"`
	UpdatedAt string  `json:"updated_at"`
}

Conversion records an amount converted from one currency to another.

type Domain

type Domain struct{}

Domain is the erapi driver. It carries no state; the per-run client is built by the factory Register hands kit.

func (Domain) Classify

func (Domain) Classify(input string) (uriType, id string, err error)

Classify turns a currency code into the canonical (type, id).

func (Domain) Info

func (Domain) Info() kit.DomainInfo

Info describes the scheme, the hostnames a pasted link is matched against, and the identity reused for the binary's help and version.

func (Domain) Locate

func (Domain) Locate(uriType, id string) (string, error)

Locate is the inverse: the live documentation URL for a currency resource.

func (Domain) Register

func (Domain) Register(app *kit.App)

Register installs the client factory and every operation onto app.

type Rate

type Rate struct {
	Base      string  `kit:"id" json:"base"`
	Currency  string  `json:"currency"`
	Rate      float64 `json:"rate"`
	UpdatedAt string  `json:"updated_at"`
}

Rate is one exchange rate entry: how many units of Currency you get for one unit of Base.
