Shell script to compute the mean USD/UYU exchange rate from many Uruguayan rate providers.
# General usage:
transa [<amount>] [itau|brou|bcu] [-j|--json]"
# Get exchange rates only
transa # Defaults to itau
transa itau
transa brou
transa bcu
# Exchange rates + calculation for a certain amount
transa <amount> # Defaults to itau
transa <amount> brou
transa <amount> itau
transa <amount> bcu
curl -s -o $HOME/.local/bin/transa https://raw.githubusercontent.com/erovira/transa-script/main/transa.sh && \
chmod +x $HOME/.local/bin/transa
Then you'll be able to call transa from your terminal such as in the examples below.
Notes:
$HOME/.local/bin
is not on your $PATH, you'll have to add it.{
"input_value": float, # null if no input.
"input_currency": string, # Possible values: "UYU", "USD", null if no input.
"created_at": string, # Date the script completed in ISO 8601 format.
"results": [
{
"bank": string, # Possible values: "itau", "brou", "bcu"
"buy": float,
"sell": float,
"computed_mean": float,
"transa_value": float, # null if no input.
"transa_currency": string, # Possible values: "UYU", "USD", null if no input.
}
