## Overview

**ArgentoFX** is a robust application built with **FastAPI**, designed to deliver real-time exchange rates through web scraping from financial websites. The API primarily focuses on various exchange rates relevant to Argentina, including USD (blue, official, MEP, CCL), Euro, Brazilian Real, Chilean Peso, Uruguayan Peso, and more. It also features a currency conversion tool for supported currencies.

> [!NOTE]  
> See it on [Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/maxcomperatore/argentofx/general).

> [!IMPORTANT]  
> This API is hosted on Render’s free tier, which may come with usage limitations. Please use it responsibly, and consider deploying your own instance if needed.

> [!CAUTION]  
> **Important Notice (April 11, 2025):** Due to recent changes in Argentina's monetary policy, the currency control system ("cepo") has been officially lifted. As a result, alternative exchange rates such as blue, MEP, and CCL no longer exist.
>
> This means there is now only a single official exchange rate, significantly reducing the need for this API. Therefore, **ArgentoFX is now deprecated** and may stop functioning at any time as data sources phase out.
>
> While I will no longer maintain or update this project, I’m leaving it available for educational purposes. Feel free to fork it and adapt it for your own use.
