Add more currency

Such as BDT

This is the free API I'm using: https://api.exchangeratesapi.io/latest Sadly it doesn't provide BDT data.

All other that I'm aware of (https://github.com/sal0max/currencies/blob/master/doc/API.md) do cost money, which I can't spend with this free app.

Do you know of an API I could use for BDT?

I am thinking if gnome foundation has one, maybe you could take a look?

Thanks for your input.

I could not find an exchange rate API by the GNOME Foundation. Maybe you thought of the data they seem to use in their calculator app? There, they call two external sources:

• The reference rates of the European Central Bank (ECB), just like my app uses.
• And also the International Monetary Fund (IMF) SDR data

See here: https://github.com/linuxmint/gnome-calculator/blob/master/lib/currency.vala

I took the time to compare both data sources. Although they offer a different variety of currencies, BDT doesn't seem to be provided by either one.

So, unless you find a free API for BDT, I don't see a chance to add it.
