Hi, this is not really an issue of this tool.

but would be good to have advice/suggestion of where to get the currency file for a more completed currencies, i.e. to include currency AZN

I am currently working on detaching the tool from the ECB file and rather make on-demand http requests to the respective source; ie ECB API. This in turn would easily extend to various central banks and such an extended range of currencies.

Implemented some of that on my own prior to that, have a look here: https://github.com/DarioHett/centralbankdata Quiet messy but hopefully you get an idea of the functionality.

Best, Dario

I have no knowledge of a free data source with all currencies. You can take a look at xe.com for their APIs. Note that you can actually scrap their content, I recently discussed PR #12 which contains code to extract the rates this way.
