Currency Rates Fetcher

This project fetches currency rates from various APIs and stores them in a JSON file. It uses both a Go script and a Bash script to fetch and process the data.

Project Structure

• .github/workflows/: Contains GitHub Actions workflows for running the scripts and committing the results.
• currency_all/: Directory where the JSON file with the currency rates is stored.
• src/: Contains the source code for the scripts.

Scripts

• bash-script-bi.sh: A Bash script that fetches data from the Banco Industrial API and stores it in a JSON file.
• main.go: A Go script that fetches data from various currency APIs and stores the results in a JSON file.

GitHub Actions

There are two workflows defined in this project:

• bash.yml: This workflow runs the Bash script every 6 hours and commits the resulting JSON file to the repository.
• main.yml: This workflow runs the Go script every 12 hours and commits any changes to the repository.

Running the Scripts

To run the Bash script, use the following command:

bash ./src/bash-script-bi.sh > ./currency_all/tipo_de_cambio_bi.json

To run the Go script, use the following command:

go run ./src/main.go

Please note that you need to have bash, curl, jq, and go installed on your system to run these scripts.
