## Currency scraper for the Dominican Republic

This is a simple service that provides the current currency exchange rate for 
the Dominican Republic. To do so, we parse the web pages of all the major banks 
of the Dominican Republic, those pages are updated on a daily basis by every 
bank.

The method used by this application to calculate the mean of the data is the 
_Harmonic mean_.

This application is freely available as a service thanks to 
_Marcos Organizador de Negocios S.R.L_ here http://api.marcos.do

or

you may make a pull request as well, if you see something that needs to be fixed 
or better implemented.

## Install

```shell
$ bundle install
```

Please note that, this service not longer needs `imagemagik`, `ogcr` or `ocrad`.

This application uses port 8080 by default, one may change the port passing it as 
the first parameter:

```shell
$ ruby curry.rb 1025
```

## Known bugs

There's a bug in older versions of Ruby that causes this application to hang for 
an indefinite period of time. Please use Ruby 2.2 +
